Decimal RGB definition

In CSS, colours can also be defined as rgb(decimal,decimal,decimal). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.131.234.43 (talk) 12:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Faults on the "SVG_Recognized_color_keyword_names.svg"

"Seashell" (#FFF5EE) presents the wrong hex value, rendering the same as seagreen #2e8b57.

Note: 9 colours are listed duplicated, differing only by the names (aqua/cyan, fuchsia/magenta; darkslategray/darkslategrey, dimgray/dimgrey, slategray/slategrey, lightslategray/lightslategrey, gray/grey, darkgray/darkgrey, lightgray/lightgrey). These should be named side/side, not as separate items. Paulo Muffato (talk) 22:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Every color you can make

So we all know the colors right? Well there’s actually a lot more. You see, this is focusing on RGB, not any other one so if we add 255 + 255 + 255 (or 255 * 3) plus the black color, we get 766 RGB colors possible to make, now this may not be true but it’s a lot at least — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.20.198.132 (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What? This doesn't make any sense at all. What are you even asking? If you want true RGB combinations then that will be 2563+1 combinations, or 16777217 unique combinations. Also there would be no point talking about 16 million combinations. Web safe means talking about specific colors that are used widely on the web. 2603:7000:E43F:9867:C086:EDD5:EC4C:C97B (talk) 18:26, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sidebar at beginning of article is broken

For me, the sidebar at the top of the article is broken. Parts of the bar are missing the outline for whatever reason. The template's page does not show the broken borders so it has something to do with this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:E43F:9867:C086:EDD5:EC4C:C97B (talk) 18:24, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It's a conflict between {{Html series}} and {{X11 color chart}} - styles that are added by the latter are being imposed on the former. These seem to be the white border added by this rule: 
.mw-parser-output .color-chart-x11-table td,
.mw-parser-output th {
  padding: 5px;
  margin: 0px;
  border: solid white 2px;
}
That, in combination with the declaration border-collapse: collapse; cause the white border to mask the black border of the sidebar, causing the visual gape. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:09, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it with this edit. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have just one question:

What absolute clown put Olive in the greens instead of the yellows? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:FA36:9C00:950E:94DB:8793:1EFE (talk) 00:36, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2 August 2022

Web colors → Web color – WP:SINGULAR. (I had originally made this move boldly, but then saw how it could potentially be controversial.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:18, 2 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 00:24, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - for the reason as proposed. Primergrey (talk) 01:09, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment is there something I'm missing about why, given WP:SINGULAR and WP:PLURAL, this doesn't fall under the exception for the names of classes of objects (e.g. Arabic numerals or Bantu languages). I see in general color articles are mix of plural vs singular: Complementary colors but Primary color, for example. Skynxnex (talk) 14:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Skynxnex: My assumption in the matter is that Primary color is singular since there can be one by itself, but Complementary colors is plural since they always come in pairs. I'm not sure if that rationale applies to "web color(s)" since yes, there are three colors that are used (or is it a singular combination of the three colors???) and they all have to be set up a certain way, but does that mean they always have to be paired together? Steel1943 (talk) 19:16, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean oppose. This is about a list or class of things, and even though you can have one by itself, the article is about them as a group. It makes more sense for the title to be plural. P Aculeius (talk) 22:03, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Skynxnex and P Aculeius. This is the article about a class of things, and you cannot have just one "web color". No such user (talk) 13:13, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per User:No such user. This is about a class of colours, not about any individual colour. JIP | Talk 00:32, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
