Using the Web-safe palette is used for visitors who have color set at 8

bit (256 colors). When using non-Web-safe colors there is no way to know

exactly how your graphics will be displayed on monitors set at 256

colors. Non-safe colors may be dithered or substituted or a combination

of both. This substitution and/or dithering of colors can easily make

graphics totally different than originally intended.
