Desktop background colors

Been screwing around with different desktop background colors tonight and needed to make a note or two.

This color chart is a great resource. All 216 “Netscape” colors, rendered more or less accurately (at least on my monitor).

Right now I’ve got my background set to #336699.

Not sure, but I think #336699 is pretty close to the Windows 2000 background.

Interestingly enough, but #339999 seems pretty close to the old default Windows NT/95 desktop background. Look at the chart and you’ll see that it is just to the right of #336699. Coincidence?
