Colors not consistent in JPEG format?

Hi,
A friend asked me to create him a banner for his web site colored #573112. So I did and I used the same color with a gradient. I controlled everything before sending it, but the surprise was complete as he integrated the banner on his site! The color was completely different. So I made the following test: I opened a new 1000 x 1000 px 300 dpi sheet in PS and filled it with #573112. Then I saved it as *.PSD, re-opened it again – nothin happened, means the color was still the same. Then I saved it as a JPEG after reducing it to the background. I controlled it before saving. The color was still #573112. Then I opened it again and: The color turned to #583112. This drives me nuts! How can it be that colors change while using it only in Photoshop? I use PS 7.1 – can somebody help me or explain me this phenomen? Thanx
Yves

are you working in rgb mode?
cmyk will change hex colors.

Turn off color management for that document. Browsers are not color management aware.

Color Management is OFF. For RGB: OFF, for CMYK:OFF. Everything is OFF. Did
you try to reproduce it?

I controlled if the color changed before I saved it.So I knew that between my save and the reopenig the error occured. If you take the color picker you
can control the color. First you pick it up, then you doubleklick on the picked color.

oh, so in other words you just checked that the color was the same. strange… I have had similar problems when I used ‘save for web’ without checking the settings,
or when I was inadvertently working in cmyk.
will watch this thread as I am curious myself…sorry not to be more help.

Do you know about color management ? The stuff for the web should be in sRGB (The colorspace of an old substandard monitor). This is what the browser etc assumes. Don’t expect Microsoft products to use Microsoft technologies like ICC/ICM.

To get exact colors, you should also use GIF rather than JPEG, as JPEG does compression and thereby alters colors. PNG is also an option. —
