WEB-SAFE COLOURS
These colours are
websafe
, that is they should look the same on all browsers and will work with older 8-bit video cards. This is not so important for modern computer systems, but many designers still like to stick to them to be on the safe side, even though the colours themselves are quite restrictive. This
article explains it much better than I can.
The first table shows the colours with black text, the second table shows the colours with white text. The 3rd table shows the 16 named
colors, you can just specify the names in your HTML instead of the hexadecimal code number.
