Textbox and bacgroundcolour

[Katarina]

Hi
I have textboxes with colour and pattern fill as
background on my website. But this background in the
textboxes appears with different colours on different
computers. What can I do to secure that my site looks the
same on all computers?

How are you defining the colors??
for example purple:

common name: purple
hex: #800080
red green blue: rgb(128,0,128)

I would recommend using the rgb value for your colors
as it is more universally recognized.

Also if the color is not one of the 256 colors considered
"web safe" it may render differently in different or older browsers

Colors in a computer monitor are made by combining red, green, and blue in
different amounts. The amounts are determined by a range of numbers.
Depending on the color resolution settings on any given machine, more or
less colors may be available on that machine. If you stick with a web-safe
color pallette of 256 colors, it will look the same on all machines.
