The term "web-safe" when applied to images was a misnomer -- there was no such thing. It originally pertained to certain colors that were consider staples of browsers, such as red, white, blue, cornflowerblue, and so. I think there was 256 of them -- but I may be wrong.
    What's wrong with everyone?  No one has yet thrown out a Wikipedia
link. I know damn well that some of you looked it up!
Here's a link that explains what people used to think. http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/websafecolor/ But that's not the way it actually is. There has been a more exhaustive study of those colors and it was discovered that very few of those colors were "web-safe" (i.e., no differences in color) across different browsers.
