Class WebsafePaletteCreator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RGBIndex

    public class WebsafePaletteCreator
    extends Object
    implements RGBIndex
    This class creates Palette objects that contain the so-called websafe palette. This palette has 216 entries which are uniformly spread over the RGB color cube. Each component (red / green / blue) takes each of the six values 0, 51, 101, 153, 204 and 255 (note that the difference is almost equal between two consecutive values, between 50 and 52). Therefore, the palette will have 63 = 6 * 6 * 6 = 216 entries.

    This palette was designed with computer systems in mind that can only display 256 colors at a time. With the 216 colors that are uniformly spread over RGB color space, there is at least a somewhat similar match for each possible input color.
