Web-Safe Colors Picker

What are Web-Safe Colors?

Web-safe colors are a palette of 216 colors that were once considered the standard for ensuring consistent color display across different computer systems and browsers. These colors are formed by using the values 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, and 255 for red, green, and blue components.

Why Use Web-Safe Colors?

While modern displays can render millions of colors, web-safe colors still have some advantages:

• Consistency: They ensure color consistency across older systems and browsers.
• Performance: They can be useful for optimizing graphics in certain situations.
• Simplicity: They provide a manageable palette for basic design needs.

How Web-Safe Colors are Formed

Web-safe colors are created using these hex values:

• 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, FF for each of Red, Green, and Blue components

This results in color codes like:

• #000000 (Black)
• #FF0000 (Red)
• #00FF00 (Green)
• #0000FF (Blue)
• #FFFFFF (White)
