Have 'Web Named Colors' as default?

When opening GL CS2 the default color select is 'Recent Colors' when I click on a color well, is it possible to set that default to be 'Web Named Colors' instead?
Thanks.

anymore comments on this guys ??? I just need to know if this is normal or is there something I am doing incorrectly. Many thanks in advance.

Web-Palette colors

I find that running javadoc in purely default settings generates html with colors that are not web-safe:
You are probably aware that Web Palette/web-safe colors are viewable on nearly all color systems and must be made up of combinations of the hex numbers: 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, FF.
the 'Light Mauve' color : #EEEEFF
and the 'Dark Blue' color: #00008B
are thus not Web Safe.
these would probably be dithered or approximated to one of the Web Palette colors.
This is not really a BIG ISSUE but if the documentation of a java program is to abide by the 'write once, run anywhere' philosophy then perhaps the default javadoc should generate Web Palette colors and sacrifice the aesthetics.
Yours,
Arjun

We deliberated over the colors to use.
When we decided on colors, we first chose web-safe colors, but could
not find any background colors that were visible on both Solaris and
Windows, IE and Netscape, and that were not so strong as to distract
the reader. We ignored other platforms.
We decided to go with background colors that work on those systems,
and let those colors shift to other colors (mostly white) on other
platforms. It was more important that the colors look good on those
systems, than look worse, but be platform-independent, on all systems.
The web-safe palette just doesn't have a light and dark pair of blue
colors. It seems that over time, the web-safe palette will get
larger.
I'm curious, does this decision impact readability on any
particular system that you're aware of?

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

When I open a link in a pdf file downloaded by Foxfire, it uses Safari, not Foxfire, although I have designated Foxfire as my default browser

When I download a pdf file with Foxfire and then click on a link therein, it calls upon Safari, not Foxfire, to get that link. This causes some complications. I have designated Foxfire as my default browser, so this should not happen. Is this a fault of Adobe or something else?

Has anyone else had Color Picker defaulting to black with Cp 5.0.2.630 on OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)

Both of my Macs running OSX 10.7.1 are now exhibiting this behavior. The color picker defaults to black regardless of which color I chose.
I have deleted preferences, reinstalled the program, tried to use the color picker on images as well as Captivate shapes (squares, ellipses), but it still defaults to black. I have also tried new projects and pre-existing projects. Defaults to black.
No similar problems with Cp 5.5, which I have installed on only one of my computers (so can't attribute this to a Cp version conflict)
Has anyone else has this behavior? Any known fixes?
I have also reported it to Bangalore and as a bug.
Thanks

3.1 Stacked bar chart shows no color by default - Override possible?

I noticed in Studio 3.1, stacked bar charts show no color by default. I also read in the documentation that this is the default behavior:
"The chart is initially displayed with no color dimension selected. End users can then select a color dimension. The chart is also reset to display without a color dimension whenever the chart configuration is changed."
I noticed that the chart is also reset to display no color when the user logs off. This is rather annoying for users if they must select the color indicator on all charts every time they log on. Is there a way to override this default so that the chart displays color by default? That's how it worked in 3.0.

Unfortunately, this can't be overridden for 3.1. We have heard similar feedback from others, and are looking into it for the future.

Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
(was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.

What is the proper way to do Color Space Defaults?

What is the proper way to do Color Space Defaults? let the color checker chart fill the whole frame or just put the color checker chart in front or aside items or people we are gonna shoot?

I"m not sure how to use this through Direct Link ... as the timeline including all color-space things are locked down. Perhaps going through Sg in a "native" launch with some of the footage, though it would have to be in a codec Sg takes in "native" ... then doing the color chart thing, creating a Look from it, and then applying that in Direct Link sessions might be the process ... but yea, Dennis Weinmann, some advice here?
Thanks!

4096 Web Smart Color ASE file?

I am needing to update my swatches to the new "web smart" color palette and didn't want to manually plug and chug my way through all 4096 colors. Does anyone have an ASE file I can download from them or know where a download of this ASE file is being hosted?
Please, any help with this ASE file containing the 4096 web smart colors is greatly appreciated.
/kyle

kyle,
If this ASE file involves proprietary intellectual property, then no one here can legally give you access to it. If it is freely distributable, then a link to a legitimate source is OK, of course.

Are web safe colors (cs4) a consideration today ?

Is there any need today to worry about web safe colors for web design ? Do not 99% of people today have high res/high color monitors ?
Tim

I quit worrying about producing sites in Web safe colors years ago.
That said, it's sometimes a quick way of sketching out a rough color story, since the colors are uniformly distributed across the RGB space.

Web Safe Colors for iTunes U interface

I am running into problems with changing the look and feel of my iTunes site. When I try to change the color scheme, it is telling my that my color choices are not web safe. I am trying to use color schemes that fall within our university's identity standards. Is there a way around the web safe colors within iTunes U, or am I stuck with what?

There are 2 colors which must be web safe - Section box heading background color and Section box heading text color.
The tools mentioned above can help you find a near match. Photoshop/ImageReady can do this in the color picker if you use the "web safe" colors checkbox.
You can also calculate it based on the fact that the R,G,B values for web safe colors are always based on the values 00,33,66,99,CC,FF. If you have a color, for example #4000D7, you can "round" each value to the nearest match. 40 rounds to 33, 00 rounds to 00, D7 rounds to CC. This means the closest web safe color is #3300CC.

Syntax/Code Coloring as default

I don't want to sound lazy but - is there a way to have the syntax color switched to 'on' by default.
I have found out that C5 has syntax switched off by default and having to go to code and switch on for each page just adds more time to my day as I go through dozens of sites and pages each day.
I have also noticed that when I go back to a page that I have switched 'on' the color option that it is switched off again.
Thank you.....

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen. I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them. I started with one and now have three. Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.
