I am not an artist, and I have trouble making web pages that use colors. This link to a page on Wikipedia, however, translates the Crayola crayon colors into HTML color codes. Now, when I need a color, I can go back in time to when I was 7 years old and pick the right color from the big box of crayons that Aunt Connie gave me. (Aunt Connie is in a nursing home and well over 90, but doing well. Her birthday is February 14th.)
Here are some examples. I will be using Fuzzy Wuzzy and Electric Lime on my next project.
