Check W3Schools for a chart. w3schools dot com slant html
I think they have more than one chart, so look for the one that suits your needs.

If you order Sitepoint's latest web design book, Sexy Web Design, you get a Sitepoint color chart FREE!

Do the charts show all 16 million plus colours or only a subset of the available HTML colours?

I know the W3Schools charts are just a subset of all the available colors.
I would not want to have to pickup the large book that had all 16,777,216 (if I did my math correct) colors. I suspect I would need a fork lift.

504 out of 16 million? Not so much a subset, more of a microsample

I think most of those microsample sites date back to the stone age where there were a lot fewer colours available to use on the web. You'd probably do better using one of those sites where you select any one of the 16,777,216 possible colours and have it tell you what other colours are most appropriate to use with the one you selected. With a chart of only 504 colours you would choose one and all the suitable colours to use with it will not be on the chart making it rather useless.

felgall, I would recommend people use a color schemer program, they allow you to build up color palettes from the full amount of colors available. If anyone wants to know, I use the commercial product Color Schemer Studio and it is probably the single most useful utility I have in my web design kit.

This one's not a bad site for a listing of colors that aren't those icky, obsolute "web-safe" palette selections:

And I like this color schemer:
http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html (seems to be a free online version of Alex's standalone program...?).

It does look like an extremely primitive version of the sort of thing I was talking about. There are free online versions that are far far far more sophisticated than that one.There were several such sites mentioned in a recent book on web design (If I could only remember which one it was -I have several piles of computer books stacked around the place at the moment waiting to be properly put away when I can find somewhere to put them all).

Well, my understanding and usage of color schemes is pretty primitive....
If there are better free online color schemers out there, and grunting morons like myself can understand them, link 'em!

http://colorschemedesigner.com/ is a reasonable online colour scheme generator - it is the one recommended in the Sitepoint book "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design".

I like colorschemedesigner thanks.
I've used colorsontheweb(dot)com/colorwizard.asp - it shows the hex value for all colors on the palette, and each rgb has a slider. There's also a WCAG contrast anaylzer.-Brad
