A lot of this feels like duplication of the notes you have preceding the table. Could be one of those things you plan on looking at later.

My goal is to replace this note with regular Specifications and Browser compatibility sections but I need to restructure the bcd data for <color> for this. (It currently is a kind of a mess)
I'm nevertheless pushing an update. I noticed navigation was not very practical and instead of saying CSS level 1 near the top, I listed the 16 colors and improved the explanation. I think the intro is better now.

FWIW I would probably have left as "that represent"
| - [HTML](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML) only recognizes the 16 basic color keywords found in CSS Level 1, using a specific algorithm to convert unrecognized values (often to completely different colors). The other color keywords should only be used in CSS and [SVG](/en-US/docs/Web/SVG). | ||

FWIW I like this a lot more
Part of openwebdocs/project#92 (revamp our color guide and reference).
This PR moves the color keywords into their own page (taking them off the
<color>page).Note that there is much more work to be done on the
<color>page, I intentionally limited this PR by moving the color keywords only.
