Web Safe Colors
A few years ago, when most computers supported only 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe
Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that the Microsoft and Mac operating
system used 40 different "reserved" fixed system colors (about 20 each). This 216 cross platform web
safe color palette was originally created to ensure that all computers would display all colors correctly
when running a 256 color palette. To view the 216 Cross Platform Colors visit this web page:
