Here I come, only one year late in the game… everybody else has left, of course, but as comments are still open, here’s my go:
c
b
a
b
c
(I confess that it’s only after looking at some of the other comments that I changed my mind on number five, after remembering the code of some orange used recently). Now, let me check… if I win, I do owe myself a coffee.

This is a side note, but I’ve moved away from using hex values for color, and now use rgb values in the CSS. It’s easier for me to create quick color schemes that way, but my question is this: is there a performance difference between the two methods? Or is it a personal preference issue? I don’t consider myself an expert and would like your collective expert opinions.
thanks,
Chris

I’m not sure if this is a well read article? If not it should be, very well thought out. If anyone has any comments on it I’d love to hear them.
(http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/37/index2a.html?tw=design
in summary, there is also a different websafe pallette for 16 bit color so you need to use the color set that is the union of both. This leaves you with 22 colors :
(/webmonkey/00/37/stuff2a/complete_websafe_216/reallysafe_palette.html),
.. most of which are yellowy green with a couple of reds, a really dark blue and obviously white and black. I’d assume the number of people on 16bit color to be higher than those on 8 bit color (“High Color (16-bit) at about 56 percent; and 256-color users are at about 6 percent.” from article) and so perhaps we should be using that pallete.

I was curious and checked the view source. I love the fact that he used RGB Values in the source so you couldn’t cheat!

2.B

4.B
5.B
