Years ago, when computers only supported 256 different colors, a list of 216 “Web Safe” colors was suggested as a web standard, reserving 40 colors for system usage. While it is less relevant today as most of the computers can display millions of colors, using colors from that list maximize compatibility.

The color table below was created using that list. Using that color table will ensure that the colors you choose will be displayed correctly on all the browsers and all the computers.
