Color can be added to your wikia in a couple of different places. You can add a unique color in the theme designer to customize your look, or add color to your wikia's templates.
The most common way to define a color is to use its name or hex code. To use a particular color, take the name or hex code below and add it where appropriate. If for example you want to add it as a button color in the Theme Designer, copy over the hex code of that color, and add it to the input field on the customize tab.
There are two main types of colors that are preferred, HTML and X11 color names.
HTML color names

X11 color names
In addition, a number of colors are defined by web browsers. A particular browser may not recognize all of these colors, but as of 2005 all modern general-use browsers support the full list. The list of web "X11 colors" from the CSS3 specification, along with their hexadecimal and decimal equivalents,
is shown below, compare the alphabetical lists in the W3C standards. You can learn more about X11 color names on Wikipedia. [2][3]
