Web colours are colours used in designing web pages, and the methods for describing and specifying those colours.
Authors of web pages have a variety of options available for specifying colours for elements of web documents. Colours may be specified as an RGB triplet in hexadecimal format (a hex triplet); they may also be specified according to their common English names in some cases. Often a colour tool or other graphics software is used to generate color values. The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 colour names as the basis for their colour lists, as both started as X Window System applications.
Web colours have an unambiguous colourimetric definition, sRGB, which relates the chromaticities of a particular phosphor set, a given transfer curve, adaptive whitepoint, and viewing conditions. These have been chosen to be similar to many real-world monitors and viewing conditions, so that even without colour management rendering is fairly close to the specified values. However, user agents vary in the fidelity with which they represent the specified colours. More advanced user agents use colour management to provide better colour fidelity; this is particularly important for Web-to-print applications.
