Is a newspaper's target audience those that are color blind?
I do not disagree that limitations are not required, if you know your audience.
Yet when content reigns supreme and presentation is valued all the same, causing anyones screen to appear unintentionally dark, is something I can avoid.
I have the utmost respect for designers that can layout a site that presence its self the same to all views, no matter how small the % may be.

I use websafes for text, and try to keep any screen text off of non-websafe backgrounds... for the simple reason that dithered colour makes screen text read like shit.
I think it's perfectly fine to use non-websafe colours for some parts of the design, but when it comes to text, i generally opt for a web safe.

Bright and cheesy. Uh thats what I meant:
Mostly, the palette contains far less light and dark colors than I wish it did, and is heavy on highly saturated colors and low on muted, tinted or toned colors." - Lynda Weinman
