This cheatsheet contains a chart of 1050 colors grouped by hue and varied into 25 different saturations and brightnesses for each. Each color has the HTML color code reprsented as a Hex triplet (e.g. #808080). Also, it contains a chart of the 216 Web-safe colors and each is represented as a single-digit Hex triplet (e.g. #999).
Thanks for this tool. But I REALLY wish we would all drop the “web-safe” terminology.
First, very few people have low-res monitors anymore. VERY FEW.
Second, the better thinking is “web-savvy”: any paired-number hex codes will work well across platforms and browsers/monitors. For example: #ff1199 or #99eeaa.
I’d hate to see people continue to try to sandwich themselves into 216 colors when this is not necessary.
A simple question about your lovely color chart, which is by itself a work of art:
Why do we care about “web-safe colors” these days?
They came from an era when some troglodytic computer displays couldn’t show 8-bit RGB color palettes.
Seems to me that there are not any of those displays or computers around any longer, so who cares?
And, for those troglodytes still using these displays, please upgrade!
