I'm in the middle of writing code in .Net to draw something in my app and I need to pick a color to use. But what does the color "Chartreuse" look like? Isn't there a nice bitmap that shows what each of the system colors look like somewhere?

Thanks!

Try this site.

This site is nice because it shows how the color will look as foreground and background color.
