| Ive created an image in illustrator so the colour is the same as the background
colour in dreamweaver. It matches up in dreamweaver but when I preview it in
the browser my imported image is darker. I tried importing the file in to Flash
and when I test it the colour is fine. So why wont it match up when previewd in
dreamweaver.
Please can anyone help me, this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Is the image a jpg?
Then is sometimes like hit or miss even if you select proper hex color.
Use a gif, if possible.
Can you show us the image and the page (or the image and just the hex
number of the color you're after).

| 1st question- What color depth is your monitor set to? 16 bit color depth
can have strange shades for the same color value in different application.
2cd- a url to this please?

| The file is a png
monitor depth is 24 bit.
What I cant understand is if it shows up o.k in dreamweaver why doesnt it in
the browser, frustrating
Anyway here is the url

| Thanyou it now works fine.
For future reference is there no way round this because the "save for web"
option in illustrator
doesnt allow you to keep the background of an image transparent when saving as
jpeg.

Your image is PNG
Your browser is MSIE (Mozilla, Firefox, etc., match colors properly)
The image contains a gAMA chunk with gamma compensation info
MSIE mishandles the gAMA chunk.
Solution
get rid of the gAMA chunk. Put in the sRGB chunk instead. You can
use pngcrush (freeware) from pmt.sf.net to do that.

The slight mismatch is because of a slightly incorrect gAMA value in
the PNG. It has .45000 instead of .45455 (1/2.2) which would match
the sRGB background.
If you fix that, it will work in FireFox etc but still misiatch in MSIE.
If you follow my earlier suggestion (replace the gAMA chunk with the
sRGB chunk) it will match properly in both.
