Browser Safe Colors

Using browser-safe colors was somewhat important at one time because they were the only colors that could reliably be displayed on all computer systems. This is no longer the case. Most computers nowadays render any hexadecimal color reliably, with only very slight variations. Any RGB color can also be rendered by most computers, but there can more variation to the color because there isn't a base color standard for the RGB model.

If your site is of particular interest to the blind you may want to consider sticking to the color-safe palette because some older screen readers have problems with other colors.

In the chart below, the hexadecimal color for each square is given in the top line, with the RGB colors listed below the hexadecimal color.
