Atomic colour key

Does anyone know of a site that lists the "standard" colour codes used to represent atoms of certain elements in structural models?

 

For example, some common ones I know are:

 

Hydrogen: White

Nitrogen: Blue

Oxygen: Red

Carbon: Black

 

I know colour codes vary, but is there a commonly used colour to represent silicon?

i've seen silver, green and yellow used for silicon. maybe that was just the crappy kits we used in highschool though.
