LIST OF COLORS

The following is a partial list of colors with 'associated articles'. See also color names and the list of color topics.
Note that most of the color swatches below are taken from computer-domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4 (''see also web colors''). RGB values are given for each swatch, because such standards are defined in terms of the sRGB color space. It is not possible to accurately convert many of these swatches to CMYK values, because of the differing gamuts of the two spaces. But color management systems built in to operating systems and image editing software can attempt such conversions as accurately as possible.
The HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) values, also known as HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness), and Hex Triplets (for HTML Web_colors) are also given in the following table.
The appearance of actual color swatches displayed below will vary depending on many parameters, such as the properties of the display device, color management settings, and the viewing surround conditions.
Note also that color naming is fuzzy and arbitrary, and varies between people and cultures; no single swatch is adequately representative of any particular color name. Additionally, computer displays have somewhat limited gamut, so many colorful pigments cannot be represented on screen at all, and computer simulation of the natural world is at best a rough approximation.
