[Javascript] OT: Why 51?

[shawn_milochik at godivachoc.com]

On the site you listed below, there is a "216 safe web colors" link.  I
clicked on it out of curiosity.
http://www.web-source.net/216_color_chart.htm

I have two questions:

1.  Why are only 216 colors "safe," and not just any valid hex or RGB
within range?

2.  I noticed that the values used for R, G, and B were: 255, 204, 153,
102, 51, and 0
Those are, apparently, the only "safe" RGB values.  I noticed that the
increment
there is 51.  What is the significance?

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I'm not a member of the "web trivia"
mailing list.  ;o)
