html_code_clinic thread: I want your opinion on the best green font for my page


Message #1 by "Robin" <robinarora@m...> on Wed, 19 Feb 2003 17:43:10
A quick word of advice, stick to the web safe palette of colours.  
Otherwise, not all users will see the same colour that you want them too.  
The difference might be only slight or it might make your site look 
terrible.  

A quick test is to change the colour settings on your own pc, especially 
to 256 colours, and see what your candidates look like then.  Now just 
imagine all the other permutations that your users might have sitting on 
their desk.
