Should we only use Web-Safe Colors while in design/coding/development for website/apps?

+6  A: 

No. This is a non issue, just about any computer made in the last 5 years can handle any combinations of RGB/hex colors without any problems. The guidelines you're referring to were intended to compensate for older displays/browsers that couldn't render the full spectrum of colors available via CSS.

try the last 10 years, at least. web safe colours are from a time when 256 colour displays were still common. I can't even think of a modern PDA that suffers such limitations.
