You can create them, easily. There are three colours (red, green, blue) that mix to give different shades. The colour codes just represent these: two digits for each colour, in the order RRGGBB . Values are in hexadecimal (meaning digits 0, 1, 2 ... F). Always put a # before the code, and always put it in quotes (some browsers will display it properly without these two things, but many will choke - some older ones may even crash).
Alternatively, if you like the words (which have been part of the standards for a while now), Google for them. Keep in mind, though, that no list will be complete, and some browsers associate the names with different colours (no, I don't know specifically which, or why).
