At its core, each Web page on the Internet is written in HTML code. Every color in which a border, horizontal rule, word or other Web page element can appear has an HTML representation. For example, 000000 represents black and CCCCCC represents gray. Many websites allow you to search and share HTML color palettes to incorporate on your own Web pages, including vintage color schemes to invoke memories of black and white photographs, and years past.
