i must know! Is the default "web-safe" color palette NTSC safe as well? I wonder if they thought of web-tv when they made it or not. If anyone has any info please let me know

No, NTSC safe keeps any colors from reaching maximum brightness or saturation, to prevent the signal being driven into clipping. I'm pretty sure that web safe just makes things conform to a standardized cross-platform palette.

cool thanks! i just solved my question with some tests earlier in photoshop.
it appears 95% the default flash colors are infact NTSC safe. Quite interesting. Not sure how they figured that one out, but that's what my results have found. Perhaps they are 100% PAL safe or something.
shrug! thanks again

| Yeah, the web safe pallette, I've heard, is just a pallette of cross-platform colors put together a while back by some designer. Synj, I've done tons of Flash-to-video stuff and never had a problem. In fact, I don't even think about it. |
