Html color charts and designing web graphics
Hi,
As you remember, all of the web developers would say sticking to the web standard 216 color charts to ensure the web graphics and pictures will be viewed by the people's browsers correctly.
Now, please let me know if the same rule still applies to the online graphics world or there are now room for more options, because as you know, it is possible to create amazing graphics that the colors numbers might not be among the recommended ones in the chart table.
Can the new versions of IE and Mozilla display nearly all of the colors?
Thank You

The range of colors is determined by your graphics card and type of screen, not by the browser. All computers are capable of displaying millions of colors, and have been for several years. Restricting colors to those "web safe" values is no longer necessary or desirable.
That said, I don't know whether Web-capable devices like phones, PDAs, Wii, etc. can reproduce millions of colors.
Anyone?
Cordially, David

Smartphones and newer multimedia phones are capable of displaying millions of colors. There are still loads of other mobile devices and phones that cannot, so I would suggest using more standard color combinations for you mobile content.
