This will not work. You will sometimes have almost no idea of how
your graphics really look and that will make it look like crap.
Work with 24-bits, nothing else, when designing graphics.

But do, by all means, check how the graphics look in
256-colors, when they are finished! =


Surely at least everyone on this list uses 16/ 24-bits for casual browsin=
g and
designing?

Yes it is but the 256 are pre-chosen by the netscape-pallette so it's not=

really 256-color graphics in the classic sense of the word. It is of cour=

possible to still make it look good - lots of pages do - but sometimes it=

so grey-scale pictures easily look bad.    =
