Which term describes colors that remain consistent across web browsers?

• A. Spectrum
• B. Hue
• C. Saturation
• D. Web Safe Colors

Answer: (D)

Web Safe Colors describe a limited set of colors that render the same across different browsers and systems. Historically, displays were limited to a small number of colors, so designers used a standardized 6x6x6 RGB palette (216 colors) to ensure consistency from one browser to another. By sticking to these colors, the final appearance stayed predictable, avoiding differences in how browsers or operating systems might map colors. The other terms describe color attributes rather than cross‑browser reliability: spectrum means the full range of colors, hue is the color family (red, blue, etc.), and saturation is how intense the color appears. Web Safe Colors is the term that specifically addresses consistent display across browsers.
