Web-safe colors vs. not



I totally missed or read and forgot Serena Fenton's class forum post of Feb. 27 under Blog Pointers. She said, "Ick, Don't use!" about sticking to a palette of 216 web-safe colors.
So here's a comparison of two analogic color schemes from Color Scheme Generator. The one on the top has been "reduced" to web-safe colors. Saved these as screenshots with Photoshop as JPEGS, based on something posted at Lynda.com, but I'm not sure whether I did everything right, or what Blogger might've done to the images on upload. So we'll see, on different monitors.
This Blogger preview is not WYSIWIG. Played with margins to fix this layout, trying to avoid type between the images. Preview isn't playing along.

Oh, that's a fun color generator. Again, my problem will be settling on just ONE set of colors (at least for this week).
