Background color options

[Dan E]

Anyone know if it's possible to have a backup color, in a similar way to a
font-family, for the case where a non-web-friendly color can't be displayed?
e.g. something like

a:hover {
color: Red;
text-decoration: underline;
background-color: #DDDDDD, #CCCCCC;
}
?

All help gratefully received...

TIA,

Dan

Never heard such a thing, as there would be no way to test for it. You can test for the color depth,
however most monitor support either 16 or 32 bit color, so the issue of color is really not an issue
today. However colors specified using 32 bit can look totally different in 16 bit. I always work in
16 bit color.

Thanks, Thomas. Feels like it might be a neat addition to web design...
