Hex Codes and Colours
For all tables below the hex codes (# followed by 6 letters and numbers) are
recommended.
Browser-Fit Colours
The colours in the following figure will look about the same and therefore work well on
different monitors that can display 256 colours. They are thus thought to be
browser-safe.
Here they are again, arranged differently:
