•In the mid 90s, the majority of computer users had 8-bit video cards
that could only display 256 colors.
•Considering the average eye can distinguish up to 16 million colors,
trimming the colors in graphics was quite difficult.
•The “web-safe color palette” ensured the developer, as much as is
possible, that the colors intended would actually appear correctly on
every platform and all browsers.
•The web-safe color palette is comprised of 216 unique colors that will
not dither (map to other colors). Each color has a corresponding
value.
•You can view these 216 colors and their codes at:

Web-Safe Color
•Background colors are often used with text heavy content to provide a
more comfortable and inviting reading environment.
•Color contrast, especially regarding luminosity (lightness/darkness) is
an important issue when using text over backgrounds.
•Black text on a white background is an obvious example of extreme,
and useful contrast.
•Examples lacking contrast are dark on black, pastel on pastel, or
primary on primary.
•Each of these demonstrates how colors will interact and prevent one
from obtaining the content.
