'Websafe" colour palettes

I've been working on a new page for our website (coming soon, watch this space!) and wanted some of the text to be a different colour from the standard darkblue-ish colour (like this) that we use throughout the site.

Here's some recommended sites that depict the "websafe" 216 colour palettes (which are guaranteed to display properly in all browsers):
  • Web-source present a nice single page with the different hue's arranged in large banks
  • Lynda Weinman presents the palettes in both hue and brightness sequence
  • And probably my favourite, Visibone show a "wheel" (see below) with similar tonal colours arranged together so you can easily choose complementary colours

I've chosen a matching green and purple colours which blend well with the blue text of the rest of the site.
