Common Questions About W-Colors

How many CSS named colors start with the letter W?

Three of the W3C/CSS named colors begin with W: white (#FFFFFF), whitesmoke (#F5F5F5) and wheat (#F5DEB3).

What is the most familiar color that starts with W?

White (#FFFFFF) — the lightest of the original sixteen HTML colors and one of the most widely recognized basic color words.

Why do the “Walmart Blue” entries have years in their names?

They trace the brand’s historical logo colors by era — for example Walmart Blue (1962–1964) and (1992–2008). The years are part of each color’s identity, so they are kept rather than replaced with bare numbers.

Which W colors come from Crayola?

Several, including Wild Strawberry (1990), Wild Blue Yonder (2003), Wisteria, Wild Orchid, Wild Watermelon and Winter Wizard.

Why do some W colors have a word in parentheses?

Catalogs reuse names like “Wine” or “Watermelon” for different hex values. Rather than keep bare numbers, each variant carries a short tag (for example Bright, Deep, Pink) so the canonical version keeps the bare name.
