### 13.7.4 Using Web-safe colors

It is best to use Web-safe colors for HTML; otherwise you could run into browser palette issues. For example, if you do not specify a Web-safe value for Netscape, you get white. Because there are only 216 Web-safe colors, you are almost certain to have to redefine any colors you added to FrameMaker. However, the FrameMaker default colors are all Web safe.

For Web-safe colors that are rendered the same by all browsers, use color numbers 1 through 8, or define colors with elements of 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, or FF, which correspond to levels of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% in FrameMaker RGB settings. For example, RGB hexadecimal value 0099CC yields the color shown in Figure 13-2.

Figure 13-2 RGB color 0099CC

Table 13-3 lists the values you can use to define Web-safe RGB colors, in three different units of measurement.

Table 13-3 Ways to express Web-safe RGB color values

Units | Web-safe values for Red, Green, or Blue | Where used
Percent | 0% | 20% | 40% | 60% | 80% | 100% | FrameMaker color definitions
Hexadecimal | 00 | 33 | 66 | 99 | CC | FF | HTML; Mif2Go [Colors]
Decimal | 0 | 51 | 102 | 153 | 204 | 255 | Windows, some applications
