I continue to use the Web Spectrum.
I fine that for one, the colors suit minimalist site design very well. Two, many home computers monitors are still seen in a 800 x 600 resolution. (I can not utter the words that come over me when I see a site I designed in not web safe colors, on one of those monitors)
Sure with the growing prevalence of LCDs one could design using what ever colors they want, just as most flash sites are not viewable by the blind or by dial-up, but for a corporate site, I find no reason to exclude those minorities.
Finally, using a select few colors keeps things simple and prevents slight errors in matching colors.
Just as the newspaper is black and white and read all over....
Websites need not go to any extremes with color to present relevant content to the viewer.
