Web safe colors, Why does Adobe still include it in their drop down menu

I mean back in the old days, when video cards had limited ram and monitors could only display 256 colors yea sure but come on those are at the least museum concepts and hardware. Surely we can do away with this old friend by now—Yes?

Lots of things they could do away with, but then some group of people will scream that it ruined their workflow. May they're creating retro art and need that "look." Cheaper for Adobe not to have to spend money to remove something that's been there since nearly the beginning of time.

I thought that also, It will go away one day though and be replaced with something else. That day can't come to soon enough for me. I get tired of looking at it.

Actually it has been replaced with something better, several times over. But as Chuck says, these old things are never removed. There's always someone, sitting in a cave, still living in 1998, who is actually using this.

It's the same with hex. Back in the day, it was the best they could do. But today it serves no useful purpose, it just causes confusion and misunderstanding.

I agree, but saying that it still more useful than web safe colors especially when making color swatches. But yea other than that it pretty much worthless.
