The term "web-safe" when applied to images was a misnomer -- there was no
such thing.
It originally pertained to certain colors that were consider staples of
browsers, such as red, white, blue, cornflowerblue, and so. I think there
was 256 of them -- but I may be wrong.
What's wrong with everyone? No one has yet thrown out a Wikipedia
link. I know damn well that some of you looked it up!
Here's a link that explains what people used to think.

But that's not the way it actually is.
There has been a more exhaustive study of those colors and it was
discovered that very few of those colors were "web-safe" (i.e., no
differences in color) across different browsers.
