How many colours are there?

Question

In HTML I realised that you can change different colours. I discovered red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta. But I also discovered that teal, tan or lavender could be used. But then I saw that cream can't be used. I am now curious. What are all the colours that I could use?

Answer 1

There are quite a lot:

If you use color codes instead of names, you get millions of shades.

Answer 2

There are 16*16*16*16*16*16 = 16,777,216 colors in RGB.

Answer 3

My condolences to Eric Meyer of course, but I am kind of mad that he (or whoever) pushed #663399 RebeccaPurple onto the world.
