Web Safe, or Browser Safe palettes as they are also referred to, consist of 216 colors that show solid, non-dithered, and consistent on any computer monitor, or web browser, capable of showing at least 8-bit color (256 colors). The reason why this palette contains only 216 colors, instead of the maximum 256 colors, is that only 216 out of the basic 256 colors will show exactly the same on all computers.
RGB and Hexadecimal Color Codes
Colors are made up of 3 sets of RGB numbers representing the amount of Red, Green and Blue contained within a color. These colors are generally represented as hexadecimal values. The format to define a color code is #RRGGBB, where RR means the hexadecimal value of red ranging from 0×00-0xFF. Similarly GG & BB represents corresponding values of Green and Blue.
Below is showed the 216 web safe color chart with equivalent hexadecimal and rgb color codes.
