Agreed, digital color can be a huge rabbit hole once you start understanding all of the pieces involved. Reminds me of one of my favorite xkcd comics (the alt text is particularly relevant here)

I've always found it interesting that XKCD uses a slightly beige background color in all of the comics.
Which browser are you using...?
Opera version 4 on a Sun SPARCstation 5 rendered in black and white onto a twenty five year old CRT.

Why - is it not beige to some people?

I just took a screenshot of the site and used the color pipette, it's pixel-perfect #FFFFFF white, not beige.
