I disagree with Ziya. <ducking>

I would not make that general a characterization....

You need to know your audience.  I design intranet applications for a large
company where all the branch offices use thin clients for to access the
Internet, and they only see 256 colors on their monitors.

I take the approach of graceful degradation.  If you stray from the web safe
world, then pick colors that will degrade best when viewed on a 256 color
monitor - and test the pages in 256 colors.

> Roughly comparable to the NN4 browser problem.
