So I’ve been working on a new layout for my blog, using PNGs and divs and such. Everything was going along nice and well, until I tried viewing the page in Safari . Bamf, all my colors were off.

I think the web needs a replacement for PNGs, or at least PNGs with embedded color profiles.

My monitor is calibrated and everything.

Take a look:

This isn’t really a problem with either browser per se, but just an issue with color management in general. I think I will have to stick to jpegs for this because you can embed an ICC profile in them.

Updates to come with solutions.

[edit]
Apparently, it has a third appearance in IE. So, it seems like the answers are headed towards PNGs are broken. It might be time for a new image format that contains an alpha channel.
