I mean, sure maybe. But I think folks forget that back then perhaps not even a majority of your users had a browser with 256 color support. Honestly I kind of miss it - I found webpages far easier to get information off of quickly than today's pretty designs. The fact pretty much all webpages followed the "look and feel" of your browser was a feature, not a bug. Far too much control is given to web developers vs. users these days, and I think the exceedingly low signal to noise ratio is at least a bit caused by that.
