First, using the #RRGGBB or word format
type in your custom background color:

The "onMouseOut" and "return false" are not supported in either Netscape 2.0 or Microsoft IE 3.0. Therefore the automatic background color change results (and the save on click) in the tables below works best with Netscape 3.0 and above or with Microsoft IE 4.0.

aqua gray navy silver
black green olive teal
blue lime purple white
fuschia maroon red yellow
