Can anyone tell me the *correct* HEX colour codes - if there are
any defined - for each LU line that could used in HTML ?

Note for uk.railway comedians - HEX here means hexadecimal *not*
Heathrow Express.

should have what you need.

Do the line colours have official names? I'm captain of my local
pub
quiz team and we sometimes get asked what colour is such-and-such
a
line, but then we get into silly arguments e.g.is the Central Line
red, or orange? Red presumably, because it's the same as
'corporate
red'. But what about the Waterloo & City Line - turquoise, or pale
green?

The names are given on page 12 of the 201-page London Underground
signs manual at
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/corporate/...al_Dec2003.pdf
as follows:

Central: red
Victoria: light blue
District: green
Circle: yellow
Metropolitan: magenta
Bakerloo: brown
East London: orange
Hammersmith & City: pink
Northern: black
Piccadilly: dark blue
Waterloo & City: turquoise
Jubilee: light grey

(The names above are all prefixed by Underground, thus "Underground
light blue" for the Victoria line.)

Interesting - thanks. On Wednesday I gave 'silver' as the colour for
the Jubilee line and this was 'correct', although I see it's
officially 'light grey'.
We still won our match with the highest score of the night - see:
