The importance of these browser safe colors (avoid dithering or patterning in a color) is less important today with modern display devices with full color choice. The above color schemes use the three base colors: red, green, blue. Each of which has 256 possible color values (because each color uses one byte from the darkest or 0, to brightest or 255). Because older hardware could not display all these value it used to benecesary to limit these 256 values to six values:
| hex | 00 | 33 | 66 | 99 | CC | FF |
| num | 00 | 51 | 102 | 153 | 204 | 255 |
| % | 00 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 | 100 |
It is now safe to use all colors in between these giving 256*256*256=16777216 possible colors.
