[thelist] Web Safe Colours

[Geoff Sheridan]

>How many people can only view the web in web safe colours?

Only people who don't care, or have palms and the like. In any case,
they are used to things looking rubbish. Even recent hand-helds have
thousands of colours. And what's the worst that can happen? It
dithers. But everything they see is dithered if they're using 256
colour equipment - they won't notice your consideration.

>Are the days of
>the 256 colour pallet gone?

Yes.
