Web Safe Colors

Web safe colors are basically any color that will display the same on any computer. Of course, different browsers and monitors will not be exactly the same, but for this exercise, we will assume they are the same.  The list of color safe ranges is a rather limited color combination set created from .gif image file type, which is the basic image type for html files. The .gif image files have a maximum of 256 possible colors, however only 216 of the 256 colors will display the same on all comptuers. The chart below gives you the 216 colors that are considered web safe colors.
