Web Safe Dark Brown 2

[plantfinder]

I'm looking for the number for a web safe Dark Brown to use as a font. From everything I can find, this number should work: #663300, however when I preview in either IE or Firefox, it is Black. I've seen more than a few references that this is a web safe color. I'm not sure why this is not working. The only darker brown brown available in the color chip selector (#996600) in Dreamweaver is too light. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong or suggest a number for a Dark Brown that might work?

Thanks

Mike

Using that color gives me a perfectly brown color in FF, IE7 and Safari for Windows. So I don't think its the hex code, maybe your screen?

You're right. I now have the brown I want using my NewNavList css but not when I use my NewNavListHeading css.

Here is the css:

.NewNavListHeadiing {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: 663300;
}
.NewNavList {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: lighter;
color: 663300;
}
.NewNavList a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #663300;
}
.NewNavList a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #663300;
}
.NewNavList a:hover {
color: #003366;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #CC9933;



and here is the HTML. I can't figure out what I have that is different - thanks in advance

Think it might be the missing pound sign (#)?

I agree. you are missing the "#" in both your declarations which would actually make whatever your applying the color to transparent.

so if you have a black color underneath it would look black.
