16 of CSS’s named colors come from the VGA palette originally, and were then adopted into HTML:
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
Most of the rest come from one version of the X11 color system, used in Unix-derived systems to specify colors for the console, and were then adopted into SVG.
