NAME¶
Graphics::ColorNames::WWW - WWW color names and equivalent RGB values
SYNOPSIS¶
require Graphics::ColorNames::WWW;
$NameTable = Graphics::ColorNames::WWW->NamesRgbTable();
$RgbBlack = $NameTable->{black};
DESCRIPTION¶
This module defines color names and their associated RGB values from various WWW
specifications, such as SVG or CSS as well as common browser implementations.
See the documentation of Graphics::ColorNames for information how to use this
module.
Currently, SVG and CSS define the same color keywords and include all color
keywords supported by common web browsers. Therefore, the modules
Graphics::ColorNames::WWW, Graphics::ColorNames::SVG and
Graphics::ColorNames::CSS behave in identical ways.
This may change if the specs should happen to diverge; then this module will
become a superset of all color keywords defined by W3C's specs.
It is recommended to use this module unless you require exact compatibility with
the CSS and SVG specifications or specific browsers.
NOTE¶
Reportedly "fuchsia" was misspelled "fuscia" in an
unidentified HTML specification. It also appears to be a common misspelling,
so both names are recognized.
LIMITATIONS¶
The "transparent" keyword is unsupported. Currently,
Graphics::ColorNames does not allow RGBA values.
Further, the system color keywords are not assigned to a fixed RGB value and
thus unsupported: "ActiveBorder", "ActiveCaption",
"AppWorkspace", "Background", "ButtonFace",
"ButtonHighlight", "ButtonShadow", "ButtonText",
"CaptionText", "GrayText", "Highlight",
"HighlightText", "InactiveBorder",
"InactiveCaption", "InactiveCaptionText",
"InfoBackground", "InfoText", "Menu",
"MenuText", "Scrollbar", "ThreeDDarkShadow",
"ThreeDFace", "ThreeDHighlight",
"ThreeDLightShadow", "ThreeDShadow", "Window",
"WindowFrame", "WindowText" (these are deprecated in CSS3)
