The following table shows all of the "web-safe" colors, underlining the really-safe colors. (One shortcoming of the web-safe palette is its poor selection of light background colors.) The intensities at the low end of the range, especially the two darkest, are often hard to distinguish.
In the table below, each color code listed is a short-hand for the RGB value; for example, code 609 is equivalent to RGB code 102-0-153 or HEX code #660099.
