There are an infinite number of colours. If you're talking about colours visible on screen, it's millions - don't pay any attention to talk of 216 or 'thousands' - the vast majority of people likely to be looking at anything on screen that you produce will have a machine made in the last 6-7 years, i.e. capable of rendering millions of colours.

The bottom line is that there are 216 colors that should display properly in a variety of browsers, including Netscape and Internet Explorer. Netscape's CLUT (Color Lookup Table) Palette (which you can download for the Mac from Bruce Heavin's site displays the 216 colors that Netscape has chosen for your viewing pleasure. If you use the CLUT palette when indexing, or as a swatch palette when creating your GIFs, you will reduce the possibility of speckling, or, in this case, Mona's "measles."

It depends if you mean what humans can see, what we just casually call colours, or every specific colour variant in existence.
Up to and over 18 million, I was told by my art teacher.
