Hi Wendy, Jo and others The statement does not appear to be true. Section 4.3 of the CSS3 working draft of 5 March 2001 includes the X11 color keywords. [1] My understanding is that Opera supports the W3C standards. Therefore, at this time, Opera only understands the 16 names colours referenced in HTML4. This is supported by an undated note by Sue Sims on the CSS Pointers Group site. [2] According to a post by John Russell (3 Dec 2000) "Amaya renders some but not all of these 140 colors." [3] I don't know if this has been changed in the last year.
