Yo! Something useful I've actually found muhself!

All you new bloggers, if you're baffled by the hexadecimal values for the basic colours that can be used on your website - here is a comprehensive list of "browser-safe"* colours, sorted by hue and by value.

Obviously, Brian et al will pshaw at the basicness of all this, but for beginners it may hopefully be of some use. Just watch me muck around with my site over the next few days :-)

*The Browser-Safe Palette is the actual palette that Mosaic, Netscape, and Internet Explorer use within their browsers. The palettes used by these browsers are slightly different on Macs and PCs. This palette is based on math, not beauty.

The Browser-Safe Palette only contains 216 colors out of a possible 256. That is because the remaining 40 colors vary on Macs and PCs. By eliminating the 40 variable colors, this palette is optimized for cross-platform use.
