choosing web color....

I have developed a web based application targeting various browsers
(different versions).

When I select the color... do I have to make any considerations? Anything
like true font etc..

Thanks,

No considerations for color. Browsers are not color value dependent in any
manner at all.
You can declare any font you want but if it is not present on the user's
machine it will not load and the next font declaration will take precedence.
A CSS example...

font-family: MumboJumbo, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

If MumboJumbo is installed on the user's computer it will be loaded and
used. If not Verdana is next, if not Arial, if not Helvetica (for Mac users)
and lastly the base default sans-serif.

Select a font that is cross platform:

Select web safe colors that do not dither when viewed on a 256 color

Here is a good tool for choosing a color pallet:
