À noter que aqua et cyan désignent la même couleur; il en est de même pour fuchsia et magenta. Pour ce qui est des diverses teintes de gris, les orthographes gray et grey sont toutes les deux acceptées (par exemple lightgray et lightgrey, darkgray et darkgrey). Relevons au passage une petite anomalie : darkgray (gris sombre) est en fait plus clair que gray (gris).
