I thought the link you provided was supportive also re web-safe colours. Re color declaration; no problem. Re web-safe colours; you're a few years out of date IMHO. Please check the way I used the delimiter with my sig and use it likewise. -- Gus

You have no clue what you are talking about. PointedEars -- Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript. -- Richard Cornford, cljs, <f806at$ail$1$8300dec7(a)news.demon.co.uk>

That's a paralyzing diagnosis, and neither Mr. Brown nor the rest of us can learn anything from it. Referring to http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/, I see many good references to color, especially addressing contrast ratio and luminance, but nothing (that I can find) that speaks to browser-safe colors.
