Do you know of 6 clearly distinct colors that show up well on a white
background? I was thinking of the 6 standard colors
red/green/blue/cyan/magenta/yellow
however, on a white background, yellow, cyan, and green are hard to
read. Any suggestions? (html color codes would be great!)

Six (plus white) is way too many. If you use fewer colours, then people will
find it easier to spot clickable links in your HTML. You will also be less
likely to make your website inaccessible to colour blind visitors.
Here's a site you might find useful:

Nice service; thanks for drawing my attention to it!
Actually, this one is WAY better:
http://visibone.com/colorlab/
I don't get it. It just shows you the color, it doesn't seem to anything
else. The OP wanted to know what colors were readable on a particular
background. I don't see how this page tells us this any better than the
one I suggested. Help me out here.
Besides, yours is too wide for my viewport. Yucky.

Click the colors on the wheel and you'll see why I think it is better
Click several colors in succession and you'll see things as they should
be when trying to pick out a color scheme for your site.
Hmm. I see where you are going, but the one downside is this - I can make
out color differences much better than the average person. The juicystudio
thingie gives an objective comparison between colors. This merely overlays
them, and the comparison is entirely subjective.
Perhaps both used together would be best. Yours for determining the basic
color combo, and the other for checking to see that the contrasts are
sufficient.

While I do use juicystudio to check contrasts, for overall color
schemes, IMO pixy is better (JavaScript is required, but worth it):

I read the faq, and it mentions that IE 4 on windows requires setting a
printing option to allow background colors to be printed.
Things change, life goes on, other browsers come into existence....
So, is there a way in CSS to say "Yeah, print these background colors",
without the user having to turn on an option that will then apply to all
pages printed?
Thanks,

I'm using an Access database to drive a web site and the
colors of various table backgrounds are stored in Access.
I want users of the Access database to be able to select
colors for the site, but my mappings between named colors,
HEX values and the Long Integer values used in Access are
not jibbing. Anyone have a nice list laying around?

It appears to me that this control has the following
different default colors:
1. a forecolor of black
2. a backcolor of white
3. When the dropdown arrow is selected the controls
colors change automatically as follows:
The forecolor is White and the backcolor for the selected
item in the dropdown is blue but the rest of the dropdown
items in the list box are static with a black forecolor on
a white background.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
