Netscape's colors decoded!

I had a lot of trouble with using background colors in www pages. The problem was calculating decimal and hexadecimal color values and reading a lot of faulty 'help' pagers for color codes.
	With the new Netscape 3 you can now declare a lot of colors literally: Instead of writing
	<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000>	you can now write as well	<BODY BGCOLOR=black>
	And you'll never have to deal with ugly color codes anymore!!
There is just one thing that bugs me: It's hard to imagine colors from names! People often differ in naming colors. Person A calls a color 'pink' that Person B describes as 'violet'. How much more difficult is it then to imagine how the Netscape colors 'papayawhip' or 'chartreuse' really look like? I don't want to imagine, I want to see!			That's were my color table comes in, saving the day. No gifs, no wrong codes, every cell color is created instantly from the color name written inside. Features ALL available color names in aphabetical order.
