Web-Safe Colors

This table displays the 216 web-safe colors supported by browsers. Netscape defined these colors to address the problem of using colors on computers that could only display 256 colors at a time. Using web-safe colors reduces the chance of having dithered colors. What Netscape did was define six levels each of red, green and blue, evenly spaced throughout the RGB color space.  Each color is separated from the next by 51 (33 hex). Thus, you will see color codes of 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, and 255 (hex 0, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF). Web pages that use these colors have a much better chance of displaying as the web designer intended.

The following table displays the 216 web-safe colors arranged by hue.
