PROBLEM: Different color is displayed in Photoshop than what is displayed in web browser with the same sampled RGB-color values.

I have a layout in photoshop (.psd) that I’m chopping into jpg/png’s for use on a web page. To have the same blue in the background and in the photographs, I sample the blue in the photographs with the eydropper-tool (1×1, 3×3 AND 5×5 report the same RGB color values).

However, after ‘copy-pasteing’ the sampled blue color values into the web page, and reviewing the colors in the browser – the blue in the background is different from the one in the photo (both displayed in the browser on the very same page)!!

How to correct this? I’ve never encountered anything like this.

Thanks,

J

I must add that I am using PS 7, Windows XP Home, and browsers tested are IE6 and Opera 7.5.

By themselves, the number don’t mean much. Unless the browser and PS are using the same color gamut,
differences will appear. You could try using the soft proof to tell PS to use Monitor RGB.

convert to sRGB in photoshop.

Thats the thing, I do that, but the colors show up different and pipette- sampled colors produce different color in the browser.
