Web safe colors are a palette of 216 colors orginally
implemented by Netscape. They are multiples of 51 for each
of red, green and blue. Using hexidecimal notation, the
web safe combinations are composed of 00, 33, 66, 99, CC,
and FF.

On my site you can find some answer's about why this is
needed,
