Well, they won't look exactly the same on all monitors but they well render reasonably close to what you see and the monitors/borwsers/operating systems will deal with them without interpolation or dithering or tricks like that. It's easy to remember the web safe colors; just define your colors in hex using combinations of 00, 33, 66, 99, aa, cc and ff. For example: FONT COLOR="#3366AA" or BGCOLOR="#996699" -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
