Web Safe Colors
The Color Tables
| Hex, Decimal and Percentage Equivalents
Introduction
Browsers and monitors do not display colors consistently.
Thus that nice hunter green on your monitor might be dark
brown on someone else's monitor. To make sure that your chosen
colors will appear the same on as many monitors as possible,
you might want to use "Web safe" colors. Even then the results
may not look quite the same on another monitor because of
contrast, brightness, and other factors.
This palette identifies colors as combinations of red, green
and blue, using hexadecimal numbers for each color. The Web
safe color palette limits you to the following values for
red, green and blue: 00, 33, 66, 99, CC and FF.
The guides below give the hex code and the color it produces.
Reading across the first row, the first two letters in a column
give the red value and the second two give the green value.
For the blue value, replace the dashes with the two letters
in the leftmost column. Thus the first color is FFFFFF, the
color below that is FFFFCC, the color to the right is FFCCFF.
If your graphics program doesn't support hex values, the
decimal and percentage equivalents are given in The
Hex table.
