Understanding CSS Named Colors

    Cascading Style Sheets, commonly known as CSS, is the enchanting force that elevates the aesthetic appeal of your websites. A remarkable aspect of its prowess lies in the use of named colors—such as crimson, azure, emerald, and even more distinctive hues like salmon and honeydew. With an impressive palette of over 140 named colors at your disposal, you can effortlessly incorporate them into your CSS, sparing yourself the intricacies of complicated color codes. This feature proves particularly advantageous for novices eager to infuse vibrancy into their websites without delving too deeply into the complexities of color theory.

• Simplicity:
       Named colors are easy to remember and use, making your code more readable.
  
  
• Quick Prototyping:
       When you’re quickly putting together a design, named colors allow you to apply colors without getting bogged down by specifics.
