Chrome renders #FF3A00 as #FF0000 for some reason. I included a screenshot from jsfiddle to illustrate the point. The colour that the Color Meter reports (and what I see) differs from what CSS says.
This happens to other colours too. For example, #FFAF00 is rendered as #FFA400 according to the Color Meter.
However, the colours are rendered without problems on Safari and Firefox. I'm on a Mac using Chrome 11, Safari 5 and Firefox 5.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation. Any ideas?
Update: I'm attaching a screenshot of Chrome next to Safari showing the very same page. I checked this image in Photoshop: the colours are #F00 in Chrome and #FF3A00 in Safari.
Ok, as it turned out, I needed to restart my Chrome. I often connect my macbook air to a 24 inch monitor. It looks like Chrome displays the colours incorrectly when I change to a monitor that's different from what was used when Chrome was started.
I found the answer on the Google Help forum : "I should mention that in OS X, every time you change your monitor or monitor profile (e.g. if you switch from your laptop display to your external display), you MUST restart Chrome for it to get the proper monitor profile information from the OS."
By default both Firefox and Safari use the sRGB color profile. You must do the same, if your Google Chrome takes a different color profile as default.
Access at Chrome: chrome://flags/#force-color-profile
Change Force color profile to "sRGB".
Relaunch your browser and testify the rendered colors now.
I recently posted a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6338077/google-chrome-for-mac-css-colors-and-display-profiles
As Andrew Marshall answered there, this is a known issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=44872
Mac has color correction set up for your monitor. Your browser may or may not use color correction for web content/images depending on its setup. Your color picker reports what your OS thinks it is rendering. Your browser may report something else.
Color on computers. Something many of us take for granted but never bothered to understand how it is rendered.
Chrome color picker works by taking color from current monitor color profile,and the problem may happens by changing color setting or sometime change monitor, please check the below method to solve.
Go to chrome://flags/#force-color-profile and click Reset all to default
Thanks.
In case someone else come here because firefox images looks too colorful (over saturated).
Full guide on how to fix it https://cameratico.com/color-management/firefox/
Shortly:
Type in about:config on your Firefox address bar
Set gfx.color_management.mode to 1
Set gfx.color_management.enablev4 to true
Restart firefox
Now Firefox will display colors same as Safari, Chrome and all other browsers
I changed the Colour Profile in OS X and that sorted it for me.
See the screenshots below using different Color Profile. Note, in the screenshots I'm trying to differentiate between #ff00ff, #ff1aff, #ff33ff and #ff4dff. It's only when I don't choose the default OS X colour profile that I can differentiate the colours correctly.
Default colour profile:
With a different colour profile:
From: CSS colors on OS X displaying correctly in Firefox but incorrectly in Safari and Chrome (potentially 'solved')
I found Safari and Chrome could not differentiate between #ff00ff, #ff1aff, #ff33ff and #ff4dff. But Firefox could. In addition Inkscape, an X11 app, could. But Gimp and Libreoffice Writer, non X11 apps, could not. Firefox and X11 apps seem to be using their own colour profile somehow.
I have no idea why Mac defaults to Color LCD profile which does not do this differentiation amongst others.
Had this problem with Chrome (Lubuntu) when exporting a PNG in Photoshop. Solution: File -> Save As -> Uncheck "ICC Profile: Adobe RGB (1998)".

I'm displaying this image on a website, however Chrome seems to be adjusting the brightness or saturation (not sure the exact term). I've only run into this problem recently, this image was displaying on Chrome correctly however some recent changes in Chrome must have changed that.
I've done a quick test with browsers and here are the results:
Chrome Desktop (64.0.3282.186): Broken
Chrome Mobile: Broken
Opera: Working
Edge: Working
Raw image can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/3TLlc
Here's a side by side comparison between Chrome (left) and Edge.
Could anyone tell me the cause of this? Or perhaps point me in the right direction?
I think that your image is in CMYK (print) color mode. Chrome renders its colors differently.
Try to open the image with an editor (for example: Photoshop, Gimp 2), set the color mode to RGB (if the editor doesn't do that by default), and save it (or export it) with the same extension, .jpg. This works for me.
If your colors are changing a little bit, that is because of the conversion to RGB.
I'm working on a project that it has to be accessible to everyone and I have some problems when the PC is in High Contrast mode.
Here the project demo version (the new version on development is different and we have removed the accessibility theme because are useless if the PC is set to high contrast).
http://www.traffwebdemo.co.uk/consult/
The icons in the legend are made with CSS sprites, so when you are in High Contrast they disappear.
So far I've solved the problem in IE and Edge with:
-ms-high-contrast-adjust
In Chrome there is a Plugin called:
High Contrast and it change the color on the website (change the icon and the map colors)
In Firefox the theme changes the colors and the icons disappear.
In Opera it seems that the High contrast theme doesn't work.
How can I solve this problem in Firefox?
there is an AddOn for Opera that allows you to add a High Contrast theme (it has to change also the map color or simply don't touch the icon colors, look at chrome plugin)?
I dont't care too much about Opera, What I really need to solve is Firefox.
UPDATE.
This Problem seems to be related just to Windows, I tested the project on my MAC and it works well on every browser.
I am having an issue with Firefox rendering a few of the .png's that I have loaded into a Wordpress blog that I am preparing for a client. The images look fine in IE 8 & 9, and chrome, but it looks very off in Mozilla. I was informed by our other UX guy that Firefox complies with embedded color profiles that may warp the tint of your image. You can view the tint shift by going to :

If anybody has any idea of how to over ride the color profile, I'd definitely appreciate the heads up!
Thanks
Here is an image that shows the difference that I am seeing.
alt http://s11.postimage.org/jbnzek4g3/color_embed.jpg
The difference in rendering is due to an ICC color profile embedded in the image. When Firefox finds a color profile it will combine it with the color profile of the display and adjust image rendering accordingly. This will normally make sure that the image is displayed the same on different displays. However, it might also cause undesired effects if the display profile is incorrect.
At least Windows 7 allows you to calibrate display colors. Not sure whether this feature was also present in earlier Windows versions but they definitely allowed selecting a color profile file in the advanced display settings - you could replace the driver-supplied profile by sRGB.
If you absolutely don't want different image display on different computers then you should just remove the color profile from the image with a tool like jStrip and pngcrush.
I have a very strange from when testing a website on Chrome.
The CSS is exactly the same but appears different. Plus tested on the same monitor.
Firefox
Chrome
You can see from the Chrome print screen the background image I am using for the knives/forks, its the background color of this image which changes.
The background image at http://www.cater-shawrecruitment.co.uk/webapp/templates/default/images/bgpage.jpg has an embedded colour profile, which different browsers will interpret differently. You'll need to re-render the image without the embedded colour profile.
This is probably caused by using photoshop to simply 'Save' the JPG, rather than 'Save for web'ing.
Chances are, your image has a color profile applied, and thus is being rendered differently in Chrome and Firefox, which only the former of these two will actually respect it. Reading off of Chris Coiyer's article on web color profiles, you can fix the problem by doing as follows:
If you "Save As..." from the file menu, you will have the opportunity to save your color profile along with the image. If you "Save for Web & Devices..." the "sRGB" (best for the web) color profile will be automatically applied (in CS3 anyway).
this is something to do with colorprofiles.
this might help - Image color differences in different browsers. (Firefox, Chrome, IE)
and this
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=143
check your colorprofiles in photoshop (cmd+shift+k) and try to recreate the image. should work.
If you change the image to be png it will be the same color. The reason is in the link of #Nightfirecat and in #graphicdivine 's answer.
I'm testing a new site, and I have a div with
background-color: #bbf6bb;
That seems innocuous enough to me. And yet, on my MacBook Pro, the color looks very different in Firefox 3.6 vs. Safari 4. In Safari, it's the color I'd expect from the hex value: a pale green. In Firefox, there's a definite bluish tint, making the color turquoise.
I'm aware of color inconsistencies that result from different treatment of images across browsers, but in pure CSS? Really? I'm guessing that Firefox trying to correct for my display in hopes of delivering better consistency with print, but I'd much rather have my site look the same hue to my users regardless of their choice of browser. Any ideas? Can someone confirm that Firefox is the culprit here?
[Update: This seems to have been a fluke. Specifically, it's a narrow issue with Firefox—see my answer below. I'm puzzled, but relieved.]
but I'd much rather have my site look the same hue to my users regardless of their choice of browser.
That's just the thing - without colour correction, it won't look the same to different users, because not every monitor has the exact same colour response.
I've isolated the issue! It's definitely a Firefox 3.6 bug (running on Mac OS 10.6). Seems to have something to do with having a large number of tabs open. If I create a new tab and go to the page, I get the slightly off colors (blue-green instead of just green). If I create a new window and go to the same page, the colors are accurate. And yes, this still occurs if I refresh both instances.
[Edit: Screenshot got misplaced, but I stand by this answer.]
color managent color profiles not only changes the images (that can save those) but also the rgb colors.
This has nothing to do with the browser, more with the user's monitor's colour correction. Every monitor has slight differences in how they show colours; additionally, the background lighting around the monitor plays a role, as well (warm daylight vs. usually colder inside lights etc. etc).
Sadly, there's nothing really you can do. You could embed a colour profile into your graphics, which is how design professionals do it when sending data to print, but that will provide halfway decent results only for the minuscule number of (graphic designers') monitors that has undergone colour calibration and is properly set up - and I think IE won't parse colour profiles at all.
