I would argue that it depends on your target audience. Suppose you are developing for an audience that mostly uses cellular phones and PDAs. Few of these devices support more than 256 colors, so the web-safe colors are relevant for those devices. If you are aiming for just regular web browsers, however, the full range of colors are just fine.
