C64 palette for web (web-safe RGB table)
Hi everyone,
I'd like to know if there is a conversion table that establish for each of 16 colors of the C64 palette the equivalent color among the 216 of the "web-safe" palette.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Web-safe_colors
Maybe it has been already done a study about it
otherwise, I think that it might be interesting to try establishing a standard in this regard.
Tnx. ;-) |

it should be pretty easy to pick the RGB values from the list of web safe colours which are closest to the C64's palette, but my question would be, why? How many people still use 256 colour displays in 2010? It's bad enough still having to worry whether something works in IE6, without going back even further in time! |

The web-safe palette is a thing of the past. If you still use it, you're doing something wrong.
These are the colors you should be using:
#000000
#FFFFFF
#68372B
#70A4B2
#6F3D86
#588D43
#352879
#B8C76F
#6F4F25
#433900
#9A6759
#444444
#6C6C6C
#9AD284
#6C5EB5
#959595

Thanks for answers!
Mr. SID, I've seen a palette with your name in Power64: it's the same palette of which you've posted values here? |

No, it's one I made long before technical details about the VIC color generation were known (around 1995). It's super bad. Don't use it. Use the one named "Philip Timmermann". That's the guy who wrote this article: http://www.pepto.de/projects/colorvic/ |
