Many computers out there display only 256 colors at a time, and the Macintosh and Windows operating systems reserve about 40 colors out of the 256, leaving 216 available. Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and NCSA Mosaic implemented a 216-color palette that won't dither (i.e., vary the pattern of dots in an image) on different platforms and is "browser safe" (in other words, these 216 colors will always look the same, no matter what platform or browser is being used).
