Color Problems Solved

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I re-exported my files as JPEGs with sRGB ICC profiles embedded. Everything worked fine in FF and IE, but in Safari it was still broken. I think that Apple would have Safari handle colors properly.

I did some investigation and here’s what I found out. Firefox is NOT color managed (rumor has it that in 3.0 it will be). I was able to get hex colors in the page such as backgrounds and fonts match the hex colors in my image by turning ALL of the ICC color management off and not embedding it.

What a pain. Turns out that no color management is the most consistent. I’m still confused why the colors on the page weren’t the same as the ones in the image when the image had an sRGB profile embedded in it, and web colors by default are supposed to be in sRGB color space.
