16 Million Different Colors
The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).
Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors.
Web Safe Colors?
Many years ago, when computers supported maximum 256 different colors, a list of 216 "Web Safe Colors" was suggested as a Web standard (reserving 40 fixed system colors).
This is not important now, since most computers can display millions of different colors.
This 216 hex values cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette:
