Oh, I see what you're saying. You mean 20 colors total, not 20 shades of a
single color.
No, you have go all the way back to *really* early browsers and 4-bit color
before you get super-restricted color choices. (Anyone running something
that prehistoric is already hating life.)
MicroSoft Windows does properly display at least 216 different text colors
(giving 6 shades of red, if you count black as a shade of red :) starting at
Netscape 3.0 and Win95. Not sure about MSIE but I think it had improved color
choices before NN did.
