I still remember one of my high school teachers lecturing us about the web safe colors. A set of 216-256 colors that you should confine your designs to use, and nothing else besides them. Last I knew, Photoshop still has the web safe yield icon1 on it's color picker.Are web safe colors still a concern? Outside of the obvious application (accessibility, legacy software versions, etc.), how much consideration should I give to limiting my color choice for my general audience?1Or was it the cube? I never remember.
Are Web Safe Colors Still Relevant?
accessibility
No, they're not. Fewer than 1% of Internet users are now on the 8-bit displays that made them necessary.
