sorry, john, couldn't resist the set-up:
<tip type="dithering, re-run">
3 ways to get a web-safe dither to mimic a non-web-safe color:
1. Use Fireworks' 'Web-Dither Fill' to find the two web-safe colors
that make up that color, and let it make the fill for you.
2. Use ImageReady 2.0's 'Filter' > 'Other' > 'DitherBox'.
3. Don't have Fireworks or ImageReady? Try
http://www.colormix.com/.
The last two give you options beyond just two colors, and allow for
some more complex patterns. I can't speak to Fireworks'
capability on that since I don't have it.
