Re: web safe background

The problem lies in the fact that web-safe doesn't truly cover 16 bit
really well. Webmonkey found out that there are only 22 (or something
ridiculously close to that) truly web-safe colors, and most of them are
ugly. Sorry I don't remember the url, but it's on their site
*somewhere*.
