Web Safe Colors

In the print world, there seem to be few limitations on the range of colors that can be used to enhance your brochure or magazine ads. Most computers have 256-color displays. However, computer operating systems reserve some of these colors for their interface. To solve this dilemma, most browsers program 256-color displays with a fixed 216-color palatte. The 216 colors are all combinations of six evenly spaced levels of red, of green and the same six levels of blue. When planning your site, choose colors from the chart below.
