Was there not a useful factor in the ease of categorizing the
websafe colors in respect to #AABBCC? Would or could this non
existent but possible "designer" have chosen and kept to the
simplicity of the idea of duplication in the three pairs. Imagine
a group of "designers" agreeing on a spread of 256 colours if the
only criteria was "a nice range" of colours!
