Question 1

What CSS color names are available?

Accepted Answer

CSS supports 147 named colors from "aliceblue" to "yellowgreen". All have hex equivalents.

Question 2

Why use color names vs hex?

Accepted Answer

Names are readable but limited. Hex offers 16+ million colors and is more precise.

Question 3

Which color format should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use HEX (#FF5733) for CSS, RGB(255,87,51) for code, CMYK for print. HSL is intuitive for adjusting brightness and saturation.

Question 4

Why do print colors look different from screen?

Accepted Answer

Screens emit RGB light; printers use CMYK ink. CMYK has a smaller color range (gamut), so bright screen colors may appear duller in print.
