Hi, so basically when i've been designing my site i've simply been using colour picker off Photoshop. However i've just realised that IE displays my colour differently to Firefox. So can somebody please point me in the direction of the colours that IE is capable of handling.. Or could somebody let me know what's the closest colour to #67AEFE !! It's only a colour why should it appear differently it's 2008!!
The only time color matching should be an issue is if you are using .png - IE applies gamma to all image types and elements EXCEPT .png - which is the only time that little bit of color 'correction' would be a problem. If you are worrying about IE not matching FF color for color, give it up now - it won't... If you are worrying about an image you have not matching your HTML color, switch to .gif or .jpg instead of .png TECHNICALLY you can turn off that gamma correction under the options for IE - but telling your users to dig for a color setting JUST for your one site isn't gonna do you a lick of good. Otherwise, the closest color to #67AEFE is color:#67AEFE;
Thanks, the problem was that i was using .png as an image, on changing it to .gif eveything now blends correctly!! Thanks for the help again.
No problem - that particular 'issue' can drive you NUTS until someone explains it - there are a LOT of things about how images are handled in browsers that people never think to take into account, ranging from encoding bytemarks to color correction. This particular one IMHO just shows the overwhelming predjudice Microsoft seems to have for the .png image format. They seem to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting it.
