In addition to rgb color values and color names (like blue, red, green) 
IE4+ knows so called system color names which will match the system 
color scheme set up on the client. For instance
  document.bgColor = 'background'
will set the document background color to the color value of the 
windows desktop on the particular client.
The given url has a table with common (all??) system color names.
