HTML for beginners browser-safe palette

These colours can be used as backgrounds, for text, links and in pictures. They are particularly useful when you want a large area of one colour, let´s say a flag, where other colours may look dithered on some screens. You get these colours by combining the numbers 00 33 66 99 CC FF in different ways according the system RedGreenBlue - (RGB) A red colour FF0000 A green colour 00FF00 A blue colour 0000FF If you want the background colour of the page to be orange: <BODY BGCOLOR = "#FF9933"> If you want the text to be blue: <FONT COLOR = "#0000FF">...</FONT> (see colour values - numbers). You can also use the names of the colours like "darkblue", "teal" etc (se colour values - names). <FONT COLOR = "black">...</FONT>
If you´re using decimal numbers, as for instance if you want to edit a palette in e g Paint Shop Pro, the numbers you´ll use are 000, 051,102, 153, 204, 255.
HEXADECIMAL= 00 = 33 = 66 = 99 = CC = FF =	DECIMAL 00 51 102 153 204 255
In Paint Shop Pro version 5 you can load a browser-safe palette by choosing Colors/ Load Palette and then click on Safety.pal. In newer browsers you can set the colours of the background, font, links etc by using a style sheet. This page was designed by ilj@flowsim.se Works best with Netscape 3.0+.
