The Colour of the World Wide Web
The colour of the World Wide Web is: #9C9C9C (rgb: 156,156,156). There is no dominant hue in the Web.
The average web page is depicted on the right (scale 1 : 5). The left hand side and the top of the Web appear to be a slightly darker gray, which might indicate that menus are generally located there and that they are darker.

The scourge of junk email reached new proportions at the end of 2003 with nearly two out of every three messages sent worldwide being an unwanted advertisement.

In November the figure was 55.1 percent and in October 50.5 percent. In some countries, for example Australia, more than two thirds of all December messages were junk.
