Websafe colours

[I, Brian]

Hi there -

Websafe colours??

I've been setting up pages for what will be quite a huge site, using the background colour of #ffffeb. Basically, it's a light lemon yellow.

But I don't understand the issue of websafe colours - if most users have high colour settings on their PC [16-24 bit], then surely I'll be safe - yes?

Or else it'll all be rendered into a hideous bright and tasteless custard yellow?

Hmm...

I really don't worry about it anymore, if someone complains I usually say "make sure you have up to date drivers for your video card" LOL yup, I'm lazy.

IIRC the idea is it's the same across browsers, not just supported by every user.
