Selecting Colours For Webpages

[rickduley]

I have frequently visited http://www.engr.colostate.edu/ens/how/web/...iles/color.html when deciding on colours for a web project. The page is dated 2009. This raises the issue of whether or not we have to pay attention to "Web Safe Colors".It this sort of restriction still necessary?

No. That page is really old anyway, nobody should be using the bgcolor HTML attribute to apply a background color.

Yes, use this instead:

body { background-color:COLOR; }
