Colors on the Web

Knowing the names of the most common colors can be very useful, especially if you do web design more professionally. Clients usually do not tell you what colors they want as a hex or as a pantone (though sometimes the latter happens) but they give you names such as plum, tan or lavender. And though you think you know what those colors look like, you might find it hard to define them as an exact color on a computer screen.
