Yep, here is the definitive listing of _all_ 16777215 possible background colours including their descriptions. Hope this helps. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To find the colour you want simply find the description that matches the colour you want and read off the 'RGB' value next to it. You'll find the alphabetical listing after the numerical listing. rrggbb ------- #000000 Black. Jet Black. Absolutely, totally 100% Black. 'without void ...'et c. #000001 Really, really, really, incredibly black. #000002 Dark dark dark dark Black. #000003 Dark dark dark Black #000004 Dark dark Black. #000005 Dark Black. #000006 You guessed it. Black. #000007 Still very Black. #000008 Yep; no change. #000009 Yes ... Black. #00000A 'Trapped 1 mile deep in a coal mine without a light' Black. #00000B 'Total power failure in a submarine' Black. #00000C 'The middle of a Pharoah's crypt' Black. #00000D 'Wearing smoked glasses in the cinema' Black. #00000E 'Dark side of the moon' Black. #00000F 'Buried alive' Black. #000010 'Fallen in a vat of Ford "Model T" paint' Black. #000011 '100 light years out in space with Stevie Wonder's glasses on' Black. #000012 '13 miles down the Channel Tunnel and the lights go out' Black. #000013 Looks like there might be a hint of blue, but it's just your imagination. #000014 But, it is _definitely_ still very black! #000015 "You are a maze of twisty passages. Your candle has gone out. N,S, or W?" #000016 'Ridley Scott movie with the brightness turned right down' Black. #000017 'Kodak's dark room when the little red light blows' Black. #000018 'What a mole would see during a total solar Eclipse' Black. #000019 You know the final scene in 'Silence of the Lambs'? #00001A I'm telling you; bats would love it. #00001B Pot-holeing hasn't got a patch on this. #00001C 'It's night and you're 6000 metres below the ocean surface' Black. #00001D Blacker than a witch's cat. #00001E 'SAS camouflage gear' Black. #00001F 'Reservoir Dogs suit' Black. #000020 Can you see the blue yet? #000021 Now, don't lie! #000022 You wouldn't quite call it 'ebony' yet. #000023 Nor 'inky'. #000024 'Pitch black' would probably cover it. #000025 'Jet black' sounds about right, too. #000026 But 'Dark' doesn't really do it justice. #000027 'Swarthy' is right out, as well. #000028 (nice word though!) #000029 How about 'Funeral' Black? #000030 ... or 'Sable' #000031 (Guess who's got a Thesaurus out?) #000032 Anyway, only 16777170 more to go...
