More colors!
The regular Web uses a confusing color nomenclature where colors are usually something like “#F03J7Z”. Although some Web browsers support a few names for colors — such as “black” for a color which is darker than gray — HappyWeb will support names for all 16,777,216 colors through the use of the Internet Color Registry. Thus, instead of having to remember 16,777,216 colors from “#000000” through “#FFFFFF”, Web designers will only have to remember 16,777,216 logical color names, such as:
#974B7D --> “puce number one thousand and four”
#974B7E --> “puce number one thousand and five”
#974B7F --> “puce number one thousand and six”
#000000 --> “black”
#000001 --> “very very very very very very very very dark gray”
#000002 --> “very very very very very very very dark gray”
#000003 --> “very very very very very very dark gray”
#000004 --> “very very very very very dark gray”
#000005 --> “very very very very dark gray”
#000006 --> “very very very dark gray”
#000007 --> “very very dark gray”
#000008 --> “very dark gray”
#000009 --> “dark gray”
#00000A --> “gray”
#00000B --> “light gray”
#00000C --> “lighter gray”
#00000D -->

for a while now i have been using the dead series of colors on the web and they work out quit well. the dead series? what is that? it is when you put the word dead in the hex, such as #ccdead or #fdeadf, #1dead1, etc. In any case, the dead series can provide you with all the appropriate color combinations for your future site, give it a try.
