palette |
| The set of colors used in a picture or on a computer screen. Older computers typically used only 16 colors. Modern ones use at least 256 colors, which can be coded by 8 bits of information. With advanced color cards and monitors 65.5 thousand colors (16-bit) or 16 million colors (24-bit) are used. Different web browsers and computer platforms do not necessarily use identical palettes. There is a set of 216 colors that are considered browser and platform safe, which web page designers should use, if they want screens to look essentially the same on each computer that views them. See Web Safe GIF Colors, Dithering, and Anti-Aliasing for more help with this. |
