Are the colour schemes in Publisher templates all 'web safe colours'?

Also, what is the easiest way to find out the hex value for these colour
schemes? The reason I ask is that I want to do some graphics (in Photoshop)
and they will have to blend into the background colour scheme.

This color picker has hex values, small utility, free...

I love that little pixie, and have used it a lot since learning about it
from you several years ago.

It has been updated. I can't see any difference in the update, but I'm sure it is
better? How are things in Oregon?

thus far. Here are a couple sky cam views:

Lovely pictures. Somehow I didn't picture you as a skier... Mt. Bachelor, quite a
name. Ohio isn't known for their mountains, but we do have a few in Southern Ohio,
the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. I certainly am not ready for snow.

Actually I am not a down hill skier, more of a barkeater on cross country
skis, backpacker, etc. I managed a mountaineering store for 11 years in one
of my past lives. Yeah, coming here as a flatlander from Indiana, it twas
quite a change. Mt. Bachelor is next to the Three Sisters...even more
interesting to think about. The good thing about where I live is that Mt. B
is just 20 minutes away and gets 300" to 400" of snow a year, but here in
town we get less than 14".

As for the first question, since there are only 256 web safe colors, I have
to say no. But in reality it's been years since I've known any web designer
(myself included) that practiced worrying about that anymore.
As for the second question, what they said.
