NO! The issue is the consistency of color ON THE SAME SCREEN.

This is extremely simple. When I define a color using HTML as #FC0094 I 
want it to be exactly the same as the color #FC0094 that I made when I 
created a GIF. Unfortunately that is impossible. That is the reason 
people still talk about web safe colours. That and ignorance.
