Dear all.. could you please try the following link for me(dont worry nothing ghastly) to test html hex colours for me ?

www.tvrbliss.co.uk/misc/hex-colour-test.html

they should get fainter.. but more importantly all the greys should be visible. I'm particularly interested in people not running bang up to date technology.. older macs.. NS 4 etc etc

big thanks !!

regards,
Ed

just to explain the reason is I want to use non web safe colours for a site.. (ie not rigidly stick to #aaaaaa, #cccccc etc etc) but hoping to see, with help, is if safe.

I wondered if the paler tones would dither on a laptop screen.. hmmm will add some text over the tints which would show this fault better..

regards, Ed

Looks OK, although you really ought to put a # in front of the hex codes in the bgcolor attributes (just like you did in the displayed text).

Plus you've got 5 empty table rows, but you probably know that.

No, they are the lighter greys in the bottom 5 rows, can't you see them?

I can only see 5 rows, #cccccc through to #f5f5f5.

If it makes any difference I'm using an IBM ThinkPad T30, True Colour - 1024x768.

Look fine on Firefox running on Win2kSP4 @ 1280x1024 truecolour

However, to my eyes there's no difference between rows 3 & 4 (or, if anything, row 3 is marginally darker than 4)

yeah noticed that.. think it's an illusion due to the surrounding colours. There's obv. bugger all difference between eeeeee and efefef anyhow. look at the page again & block off dddddd and f5f5f5 with your hand.. you'll see what I mean hopefully
