These are the colours that you don't need HEX codes for. There are 140 of these bad boys, all with really great names - Hotpink anyone?
These are in the stylesheet section because older browsers will not recognise the words, they require the code. Any browser that can do stylesheets can do these colours, so it's safe to use them if you're using a style.
Please note that most of these are not non-dithering; so using them for large blocks of colour on a page will look bad on some readers' screens. You should perhaps restrict your usage of them to text colours.
To use these colours, the format is COLOR="blue" - you do not need to put a hash mark (#) in front of the colour name like you do when using HEX codes.
