Table layout proposal
[edit]The color names superimposed on the color samples are hard to read and generally not good practice. I propose changing the tables to the following layout. I don't have a strong preference for the order or headings, however this style is very easy to create by moving each color name to the next line. –dlthewave ☎ 01:42, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Should have the "in their website depiction" in the hex heading that I that I just added. Without that it is unsourced and unsourcable.North8000 (talk) 18:46, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
