Color contrast and focus indicator

Oh wise and wonderful LVTF,

I was playing with colors over the holidays...and think I've identified the
77 web safe colors that contrast with both white and black by at least a
color contrast ratio of 3 to 1.

Why did I do this?  Well, I was curious..and by doing this for just web
safe colors...it was doable (I wasn't dealing with billions of colors).
And, I figured, it would be handy to know what colors (even in a very
limited palette of 216 colors) would meet the 3 to 1 contrast requirement
against both black and white.

I've posted a table of these 77 colors here:
http://www.glendathegood.com/a11y/colorcontrastblackwhite.html  and yes, it
does have hard coded styles in the table cells where I'm showing a sample
of each color...because this is a color experiment.

Jim Allan, can we add this as a discussion point for our next LVTF meeting
(if we have room on the agenda).

Thanks y'all,
Happy almost New Year!
