My father with whom I'm going to create a website (I just got him away from using Dreamweaver and font-tags) keeps talking about WebSafe colors he has to use for the background images. I keep telling him that that was about 1999 but he doesn't believe me.

Today, computers are capable of displaying millions of colors. You don't really need to worry about using web safe colors anymore. If you are concerned, you can always ask your web designer to test it for 256-limited web safe colors and its lowest resolution and see how it looks.
In the past, computer monitors were only capable of displaying up to 256 of the 16 million available colors. Therefore, a list of 216 web safe colors was created so developers could know what colors would be compatible with all types of displays.
Web Safe Colors the 216 Color Palette.
