Classes of colloidal dielectric systems are found with full three-dimensional photonic band gaps, using photonic band-structure calculations. The fcc structure composed from either high dielectric spheres or low dielectric spheres has three-dimensional band gaps and lower-frequency pseudogaps. The AB2 structure has a higher-frequency pseudogap. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
