If I recall correctly, there were two standards: the ”web safe colors” (256 colors) that addressed the 8-bit computer graphics card issue and the ”browser safe colors” (216 of the 256 colors) that addressed the difference between Macs and PC’s and various browsers. With modern monitors/LCD’s being able to produce over 16 million colors I don’t see ‘web-safe colors’ being an issue any longer.

Another handy color tool is a bookmarklet of web-safe colors. Just save the following as a bookmark location:

javascript:var%20i,j,k,l,t=”,c=new%20Array(’00′,’33′,’66′,’99′,’CC’,'FF’);for(i=0;i<6;i++){for(j=0;j<6;j++){t+=”;for(k=0;k<6;k++){l=c[i]+c[j]+c[k];t+=”+l+”}t+=”}}void(document.body.innerHTML=t+”);

Thanks for the list, Mitch! The first one on the list (4096 Color Wheel) navigates to a small jpg, though, not a website.
