Only 16 color names are supported by the W3C CSS standard (aqua,
black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple,
red, silver, teal, white, and yellow).  While some browsers might
implement the rest of the colors, you actually need to use the hex
values for CSS to stick correctly. I believe Firefox has about 50 or
60 it supports, but it's far from the entire suite of X11 color names
that it sounds like you're chosing from.

I came into the conversation late, but I've tripped over this before,
so I hope this helps.
