True colors

Microsoft Frontpage lies to you.  You may think you can use millions of colors on your webpage, but only 256 of them are browser safe across platforms.  Worse, the 256 colors aren't the same on Windows and Mac platforms, the operating systems used by most Internet surfers.  The table below shows you the browser safe colors for both platforms.
