No offense to anyone.

Actually, true web-safe colors were less than a dozen actual colors. 
The term "web-safe" was really a misnomer.

Limiting colors these days is pointless. I would suggest that the 
Government of Canada spend it's time and resources on things that 
matter? After all, the Government of Canada did waste it's time 
enforcing "web-safe" colors which were anything but web-safe. Now, 
they want to enforce "web-smart"?  Just one waste of time following 
another, IMO.

However, they did see the light with css -- bravo Canada. But, you 
might had issued your second mandate sooner if you had not wasted 
time enforcing web-safe colors. Just food for thought.
