Web Colour Charts

I can never remember the Codes for colours so I need a chart.
This is a bash script to construct a chart of alleged websafe colours
from the list of "safecolours".
Just run the script on a linux box & then copy the resultant file
into a browsable directory.

#!/bin/bash
LIST="0 3 6 9 C F"
PAGE="chartsafe.html"
echo "<html> <head> </head> <body> <table width=80% > " > ${PAGE}
for REACH in ${LIST} ; do
   for GEACH in ${LIST} ; do
 echo "<TR>" >> $PAGE
      for BEACH in ${LIST} ; do
         COLOR="${BEACH}${BEACH}${REACH}${REACH}${GEACH}${GEACH}" 
         COLOUR="${BEACH}${REACH}${GEACH}" 
 echo "<TD align=\"right\"> ${COLOUR}</TD> <TD align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#${COLOR}\"> <span style=\"color: #${COLOR}\">#${COLOR}</span></TD>" >> ${PAGE}
      done
      echo "</TR>" >> ${PAGE}
   done
done
echo "</table> </body> </html> " >> ${PAGE}
#[EOF]

This script is a bit more ambitious, it makes a chart of *ALL* the colours.
Moving the mouse over the resultant chart will give a "popup" colour value as a comment.

#!/bin/bash
LIST="0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F"
PAGE="chartall.html"
echo "<html> <head> </head> <body> <center><table width=\"600px\" border=0 cellspacing=0 > " > ${PAGE}
for REACH in ${LIST} ; do
   for GEACH in ${LIST} ; do
 echo "<TR>" >> $PAGE
      for BEACH in ${LIST} ; do
         COLOR="${BEACH}${BEACH}${REACH}${REACH}${GEACH}${GEACH}" 
 echo " <TD align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#${COLOR}\"> <a href=\"nowhere\" style=\"text-decoration: none\" title=\"#${COLOR}\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </a> </TD> " >> ${PAGE}
      done
      echo "</TR>" >> ${PAGE}
   done
done
echo "</table> </body> </html> " >> ${PAGE}
#[EOF]
