CSSvärinimet

CSSvärinimet, or CSS color names, are predefined color keywords in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) language used to specify colors in web design. These names are part of the CSS Color Module Level 3 specification and are widely supported across modern web browsers. Each color name corresponds to a specific RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value, which determines the color's appearance on the screen.

The CSS color names include a variety of colors, ranging from basic colors like red, blue, and green to more complex shades like darkorchid, lightseagreen, and mediumslateblue. These names are case-insensitive, meaning that "red" and "RED" are treated as the same color. This makes it easier for developers to apply consistent colors across their web projects without needing to remember or look up specific RGB values.

Using CSS color names is straightforward. For example, to change the background color of a webpage to lightblue, a developer would use the following CSS rule:

background-color: lightblue;

This simplicity and readability make CSS color names a popular choice for web designers and developers. However, for more precise control over colors, developers often use hexadecimal color codes, RGB values, or HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) values. These alternative methods allow for a wider range of colors and more granular control over color shades and transparency.
