Web Safe Colors
The 216 Color Safe Palette
Are Web Safe Colors still relevant in 2019?
Back in the 1990s the graphics capabilities of browsers were very basic. To create webpages UX designers were limited to a reduced palette of colors for text, background colors and images. At the time the safest approach was to stick to a palette of 216 'safe' colors, meaning that the majority of browsers circa 1990 would have support for them. If designers ventured from the palette they would risk the browser providing an alternative, often with shocking results, orange being substituted with pink, or cyan being substituted with green.
After establishment of the W3C and browser innovations the websafe colors are a thing of the past. Modern designers need not concern themselves with the limited palette, and can use any color they want. We've included the palette here for the rare cases where old technology needs to be used, such as embedded devices running old operating systems, or historic projects targeting old software and hardware. For web design on both desktop and mobile no limitations exist any more in 2019.
