wow i saw this somewhere but didn't know you could do it. em { color: rgb(255,0,0) } if i understand that right, can i create any color i want and it would be compatable with all browsers? i am only using web hexidecimel colors, and if theres a color that i want for my background for instance that is not a web color, i would have to make a small image of the color i want, and then tile it across the bg, which obviously hurts load times.
The color value can be a name (blue, red, green), a hex number (#000000), or an rgb value. (rgb(255,0,0)). And it works in all browsers.
You can find a usefule chart with the values for both hexadecimal and RGB colors at this address www.pitt.edu/~nisg/cis/web/cgi/rgb.html Even you can use their names instead of values and the browswer will translate them correctly
