Why you hatin’, Safari?

For some reason Safari doesn’t like displaying colors that aren’t included in the web-safe palette. This is both odd and incredibly inconvenient when trying to implement gradient backgrounds for a site. I’ll have to do some research and see what’s going on.

    Gradients do not show up as gradients on computers that display only the web-safe palette of colors. Most computers these days display full color, so this should no longer be an issue for most users.

    True enough. The post made after this one explains what was really going on with Safari, as it had nothing to do with web-safe colors but rather the gamma correction applied to PNG files.
