Re: web safe background

I'm SUSPECTING that it dithers because he's got 16-color mode on, not 16-bit
(65 thousand) color mode, but could be wrong. Peter, you might want to check
that. Also, if possible, switch up to 24-bit (16.7 million colors) mode.
990000 is NOT in the 16-color pallette, (the closest is 7F0000) which is why
I suspect the wrong color mode.

Tim, 990000 IS a websafe color. Values of 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF in the
red, green, or blue units are considered part of the 216 web-safe color
list. Therefore 99 Red 00 Green and 00 Blue is a web-safe color. That
doesn't explain the dithering, though...

| Interesting.

| If it dithers in two browsers on your system, then why do you refer to it
as
