	Some times you just need to quickly look up a color hex value, or quickly check if a color is light or dark, so I made a table of all the named colors in .net (that corresponds nicely to the named colors in HTML, CSS and most other platforms). The text color in this table (black for light colors, white for dark colors) was calculated by the code from my post about the perceived darkness of colors.             | Color Name | RGB Value | Hex Value |         | AliceBlue | (240,248,255) | #f0f8ff |         | AntiqueWhite | (250,235,215) | #faebd7 |         | Aqua | (0,255,255) | #00ffff |         | Aquamarine | (127,255,212) | #7fffd4 |
