Thanks for your help,

Are you saving as a GIF, JPG or PNG? Are you in RGB color mode, Index color mode or CMYK color mode?

Sean,

When doing any graphic for the Web, first step is to make sure that the colors that you are using are Web Safe Colors, or they will be forced to Web Safe, when you Save_For_Web. In your Color Swatch Palette, click on the arrow at the top right and choose Web Safe Colors. Choose from those, when creating your graphic. Otherwise, one of two things will happen:

The colors will be dithered to approximate the look of Web Safe Colors, or Web Safe Colors will be forced. I belive that your color choices were not Web Safe to begin with, and that approximations were chosen automatically. The Web Safe Palette is abbreviated to 218 colors (I think) that will appear on both PC & MAC correctly, down from the 256 color palette.

Consequently, you have probably chosen carefully, the colors that you want, but them might not be available without dithering on the Web Safe Color palette.

Don’t use CMYK in web-images. Colors will certainly shift when they are remapped back to RGB. It is possible to save CMYK images to JPEG but how browsers display them is… varied. -F

That is old information, nowadays 24bit images work just fine in web. Websafe palette is needed only for 8-bit displays which are rare nowadays. -F
