Many years ago, the 216 colors found in the following table were the only colors supported by the browsers. If you used a different combination of hexidecimal digits to produce a color, it wasn't guaranteed to display correctly in any given browser (and still isn't). Although today most browsers support many more colors, it is still a good idea to stick to these when you can, so that your webpage will look the way you want it to in all browsers. (Lots of people are still using older browsers etc.)
I know there are hundreds of pages with the list of browser-safe colors, and a couple handfuls of freeware programs that display the same info, but this list is really just here for my own reference. But hey- if you find it useful, I'm not going to stop you from using it. :)

Just in case you are wondering, there in no way on earth that I would have typed in that entire table by hand, although I do create a lot of HTML by hand. No, I like better solutions. Instead I created a few lines of Php that crank out the HTML to display this table.
Well, here you go. If you know how to use Php then you'll know what to do. If not check out my page on Learning Php.
