My jaw did hit the floor. I'm going to see a dentist later this afternoon.

Grant, you had hinted at something during hte spring game -- but this exceeds all expectations. Wow. You are the MAN.

Question for the designer: Are these colors Web safe? Should people even worry about that sort of thing any more?

Incidentally, for those struggling to figure out how to register, there is a link to do so in the main logo... right above the second "o" in Zoomba.

I struggled to find it. A link off the login page might be helpful.

To answer your question:

Most of the colors are not specifically of the old 216 "web safe" colors, but unless your computer is set to 256 colors or less (and why in god's name would you do that?!), there should be no compatability issues with any browser whatsoever. Browsers today are more advanced and can render colors more accurately than they used to, and the percentage of folks still using 8 bit (256 color) color mode is extremely, extremely low in this day and age, anyway.

In my (and probably most designers') opinion, the web safe color palette being a necessity to web development met its end years ago, which is a good thing. It allows for much richer web content, and flashier designs.

PS the main orange and brown colors in the design are CLOSE to being web safe, and even in 256 color mode, it's hard to tell if the colors are wrong.
