Graphics of How do I say this.com
According to the Web-style Guide, the parameters that influence the display of Web graphics are the user's display monitor. Many view Web pages on monitors that display only 256 colors. Most Web users have computers and monitors set to thousands or millions of colors, so the importance of the so-called Web-safe palette has diminished in the past few years. When the user has a monitor set to thousands or millions of colors all of the colors display properly, so there is no longer any need to restrict your color choices to the 216 Web-safe colors.
Palette of Web safe colors
The Graphics and colors on How do i say this.com are unrestricted. The many different blues and pinks and greens makes the site more interesting and eye catching. According to WSG "True-color" displays can show millions of unique colors on the computer screen. True-color images are made up of 24 bits of memory to each pixel. Eight bits for each of the red, green, and blue components (8 + 8 + 8 = 24). In 8-bit images the 256 colors that make up the image are stored in an array called a "palette".
Images on the screen
The most difficult part of showing images on the webpage is the screen resolution on computer screens. Because of the many colors that are available on the screen it limits the resolution. According to WSG complex graphics or color photographs often look very good on Web pages for two reasons:
- True-color or high-color displays show enough colors to reproduce photographs and complex art accurately.
- The light transmitted from display monitors shows more dynamic range and color intensity than light reflected from printed pages (WSG).
Also Web Pages are the cheapest and most reliable way to print color photography. There are very few images on How do I say this.com. The same image is shown on each tab and it serves its purpose very well. It is very colorful and detailed. No one likes a boring page or image. The image is like a colleague which I think is the only reason the page is successful with using this one image repeatedly.
