The raw color names are more widespread since CSS 2.0, there is also a
CSS shorthand #FFF is equal to #FFFFFF is equal to white.<br>
<br>
My experience is you can use them all, interchangably, browsers have
come along way in CSS compatibility... colors and the 216 color palette
were. Problem browsers have really disappeared due to Windows Update,
OSX, and Mozilla.... at least when it comes to CSS and early CSS 1.0
features like color declarations. The HTML color defs have followed
suit.<br>
<br>
CSS is now worth learning, enough of it is adopted by major browsers.<br>

Is hexadecimal specification of color actually "preferred"?-- I would
have thought RGB(x,y,z) would have been the preferred method-- being
more people friendly and universally supported.
