RE: Cross-Platform Cross Browser? (Web Safe Imaes)

[Jean Dukate]

Actaully this does bring up a good point. How many people design Flash

sites with the understanding of web safe colors? Some do some don't. I

never gave it much concern til one day I pulled up one of our sites at a

university library. All of their monitors had a lower resolution then

what I had created the images with. So what I saw was alot of the flat

colors areas had speckled looking color due to the lower res monitors

trying to simulate the color I picked. After that I realized that when

choosing flat colors it becomes very important to at least TRY to choose

web safe colors especailly when using falt color areas. Obviously images

that are made up of multiple colors are more challenging but flat colors

are easier to get within web safe range.  


Colin Moock (list member) posted a tool a day or so ago that some may

find useful. I haven't had time to check it out myself.

My personal recommendation is this site.

http://www.lightlink.com/xine/bells/charts.html


It gives you all the info about web safe colors you'll need. Most

importantly there is areally nice RGB color chart. Click on the link

called Web Safe RGB table. After viewing the page I saved this single

html document to my desktop so I can easily bring it up in a browser

when choosing RGB values for flat colors inside Flash or when I build

any web graphic that has a flat color.
