4096 Color Wheel Updated

  • Reported by Nate

Remember when Tony posted about a 4096 color wheel? Comments reflected the antiquated terminology of "web-safe", which (as a self-imposed limitation to one's color palate) is fine, but not really relevant. I liked the way this color picker worked, so I emailed the author asking if it would be possible to save the "unsafe" color choices; turns out - that's now been implemented.

The 4096 Color Wheel saves "smart" and "unsafe" colors in a hidden list that can easily be revealed by clicking the "show full list" link.

Really interested to find peoples views on the relevance and importance of still using web safe colours? and if there are still resons what are they? . . . It seems to me they no longer have a place in web development of any sort.

"Web-safe" colors are about as applicable as designing for 640x480. This isn't 1996 anymore..
