Computers

Do you use background colors on your pages?
Have you noticed that the same RGB color code gives different colors on different machines?
Different browsers interpret colors differently, and some older machines have to change your choice of color to its nearest equivalent. Sometimes this causes a pattern to appear, and the text may become hard to read on your background color.
Only 216 colors are safe on any system and will ensure readability.
Pick the codes from my browser-safe color cube! (Your browser must be able to show background colors in table cells.)
Different screens will be calibrated differently, though, and there isn't much you can do about that - not even by sticking to safe colors.
