Hello,
 
I have been generating some colored drawings and imported them into Adobe Illustrator. The final intent is to export a .PNG to post on Instagram. Regarding colors, I am not sure if should ignore or not the 'out of web color warning'. Could someone clarify to me exactly what goes into 'web' category?

 

Also, I found I can't correct the gamut of multiple objects at the same time. I have many many paths with differet colors. How can I make sure all the colors are inside the web gamut?

 

Thank you.

It's not warning about "web color". It's a warning about "web safe color". That has been a thing in the age of 8 bit monitors that could only display 256 colors.

Please ignore that warning.
