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.

  • 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 ?

    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.

  • 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 ....

  • Is there a web-safe format for hi-res images?

    I'm having a high resolution image (above 100 dpi) changing it's color settings after submitted to the web.
    The image looks fine on the Desktop - and if saved using "Save for web..." dialogue the colors remains as deserved on the web as well.
    Is there a way to save an image so the color preferences aren't distorted after publishing to the web, but without reducing to 72 dpi?
    I use Photoshop CS4 and I shoot and edit my pictures in Adobe RGB 1998.
    P.S. If I open Adobe RGB psd file and assign color profile to sRGB it changes to how my non-web-safe images look when uploaded to the web.
    Thank you.

    Not a color expert but believe the web uses sRGB as default.
    DPI has nothing to do with the color, it is a spec for how many dots per inch in printing.

  • OT: Non Web Safe Colors

    Hi all and a good Friday morning to you...
    How safe are non 'websafe' colors. Newbie question, so bear

    I have a logo that uses the following colors and want to
    incorporate them

  • Kuler : Are the Colors Web Safe?

    I was wondering, are some or all the colors Web Safe?
    I am new to Web Design and I'm interested in knowing this question.
    You see, I had went to W3C Web Standards. There I noticed that there are very few Web Safe Colors for those whom want to add cool colors to their Website, Background and Headers and the like.
    Thank you....

    Hi Mooapo,
    This website might be useful for getting some background on websafe colors
    http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/web_graphics/consistent-colors-for-your-site-all-you- need-to-know-about-web-safe-colors.html
    There are options available in Kuler to limit the palette or websafe colors.

  • Is Kuler color web-safe?

    I'm pretty new to this and i love the kuler color palettes, but can they be used for websites? it's been quite a few years since i studied web design and at that time we only used web-safe colors, but i'm thinking computers, monitors, etc. may have advanced dramatically...and it might be fine to use these palettes/colors that are not the "336699" type web-safe ones. Any thoughts?

    Wow! The forums are running especially crappy today. That took several minutes and several stop-and-reloads. I guess they're "improving" them again. Adobe must really hate us for freely supplementing their inadequate documentation. Gofigger.
    Anyhoo...
    Websafe colours are an obsolete term and can be safely ignored. Why they are still included as a feature in a program released in 2008 is a mystery. But I guess we pay for this junk by feature, so the more features, the more value. Nice system.
    Programs that support websafe colours are like gas stations that sell coal.

  • Is there a list of web-safe fonts that Captivate 8 will accept or an option to include other web-safe fonts?

    The problem I've encountered is that text generated by a variable will only display as a web safe font and not always the same one across machines. Also different developers are seeing different font options. For instance on my machine,  Helvetica LT 75 Bold is listed, but no other Helvetica options. Another developer has Helvetica LT 77 Bold Condensed instead.
    My questions are:
    Is there a list of web-safe fonts that CP8 will use?
    Can this list be expanded somehow?
    Thank you,
    Kelly

    Web safe fonts really doesn't have the same meaning as something like web safe colors. While you will generally be OK with selecting a web safe font, it's only web safe in the concept of a font then defaulting to a font on the end users computer that they actually have installed. The default types are serif, sans-serif, and monotype, but then you have more distinct variations which you can see here, CSS Web Safe Fonts.
    You'll need to keep in mind that not every person has Arial or Times New Roman installed. Because of this you may have someone that has Helvetica or Times. Both fall under their same respective font families, but will look a little different depending on what the user has installed.

  • Using only web safe colours speeds up site download

    I have found that using the 'web safe' colours facility in the colour picker speeds things up.
    In the colour picker switch on it's toolbar and click on the third icon from the left. Then choose the 'web safe colors' from the drop-down-menu, this will only list the colours that can be directly coded in HTML.
    Hope his helps.

    When you shot the footage, what was the camera set to record? 60p or 60i?
    How are you importing the footage into FCP-7?
    Did you use some third party conversion software?
    Click on a source clip you imported from the camera in the FCP browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or post a screen shot of them here.
    Next, click anywhere on your timeline and type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report your Sequence Settings or take a screen shot and post that screen shot here.

  • 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?

  • Is there a web based (or iDisk) iTunes for allowing viewing of video files?

    Is there a web based (or iDisk) iTunes type of program for allowing viewing of video files?
    I would love to have this possibility to just drop all myhundreds of "musical ideas" movies in a folder/playlist like iTunes interface and have them available for viewing web based for musical co-writers & collaborators.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    iTunes doesn't do Internet broadcast. I suggest you use iMovie to compress your files into and Internet file format. You can then use mobile me or YouTube to show your material over the Internet.
    If you want to maintain more control over the material, you may want to set up a computer to become a server. That way you can give access codes only to persons you want to see the material.
    I would look into mobile me if I was you. It sounds like you only need a small Internet presence to do what you want to do. And I think MobileMe would give you all the tools you need to distribute your material to those you want to see it. And it would do it at a very low cost.
    Good luck,
    Lincoln

  • Is there any software for iTunes that allows the user to adjust tint, color and hue?

    I would like to view my videos with the ability to fine tune color (hue, tint and color) for playback,  Any one know a easy quick fix?

    Thank You Keith for responding. I am asware of the options in the drop down list in iTunes "Show in Finder" to use OT and its options to adjust tint, color, contrast etc, etc., I was more interested if the same thing can be can done in iTunes it's self? Do you know of a plugin or a simple script that might help me?  ( I do not know apple script very well but if it is well written i can fallow instructions pretty good.)

  • How to define specific color for specific data in WebI?

    Hi everybody,
    I wonder how I could connect data shown in e.g. a vertical stacked bar chart to a specific color. The assignment of color in a chart is done by Webi automatically after pulling a a variable to a chart. Later on it is possible to change to color via the color palette. But how can I define a specific color for specific values of an attribute? (E.g. calue is Chicago -> color is blue; value is NY -> color is red.. etc ) Is it possible?
    Does anybody know the trick?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Photoshop CS4 Save for Web JPEG Colors are Off

    Ok, I've scoured the web to see about finding a solution for this and tried every possible option and still I'm coming up empty handed. I have a website that I'm developing for a painter and have an image converted to sRGB, and the colors are where I want them to be. I use Save for Web, and every iteration suggested online for the, embed and don't embed, convert to sRGB and dont' covert, use document color profile, use windows, yada yada. Here's a recent example:
    when i preview the image with Firefox, here's the difference:
    The photoshop version is on the left and is the color that I want/need. The image on the right is firefox and saturated. If I save for web with embedded profile, safari is accurate, whereas firefox is saturated, so it's obviously discarding the icc and using some color space that I can't see in my file. I did notice that if I have my Custom, Proof and select Monitor RGB, then I can see what firefox will ultimately display and also what Safari will display if i have Embed ICC Profile unchecked in the save for web dialogue box.
    I know that CS2 and CS3 were easier and less squirrely with color managing web files, but I think CS4 has some juju under the hood. Am I the only one out there frustrated, or like other web developers just accept the inaccuracy and move on? Since this is fine art, I'm doing my best to dial the color in, but it's been all afternoon beating on this.
    Any ideas, I'm ready to install CS3 and see if my life will be easier, but I'm wondering if having Photoshop CS3 and CS4 will cause any issues.

    >> your logic
    That's my rant and I'm sticking to it.
    The OP wrote he doesn't want or need to discuss the pros and cons of embedding profiles in Web images, but for the sake of anyone else reading this:
    1) Embedded ICC Profiles increase file sizes (about 4K per image).
    a) I may have over 100 thumbnails and dozens of photos on one page,
    b) Plus, I may have an image sliced into many pieces.
    c) That additional 4k per image, per slice, will add up fast and may kill dial-up traffic.
    2) Very few computers use color-managed web browsers or calibrated monitors anyway, and
    3) Problems with matching/blending image's edges or background color with a filled box or page color.
    d) If I tag the image — on Mac colormanaged browsers — the color will mismatch the box/page color on managed browsers because the tagged image is being Converted to MonitorRGB, and the untagged page or box color is having MonitorRGB Applied.
    e) This matching or blending a pixel-based graphic to page color is a pretty big deal to do correctly in professional web publishing.
    f) If I publish untagged sRGB images/graphics, the box/page color will match the images and blend correctly in all browsers.
    I WILL QUALIFY my general recommendation about embedding profiles in pixel-based web images for the following reasons:
    1) You are posting fine-art images, creative portfolios, and are not worried about adding 4K additional data per image, per slice.
    2) You are not worried about having Mac visitors seeing graphic blends or photos mismatched to a background color.
    3) You understand only properly-profiled monitors and color-managed web browsers will benefit from your embedded profile — and it is likely 99% of web surfers don't have either — however, if you are targeting the one percent who do, then there is your number one best reason for tagging web photos with embedded profiles.
