    Hi guys,

    I have a very strange problem. I am working on a new design where I want my footer to be a dark pink color:
    #DB5C56

    But for whatever reason the color looks very different in Chrome and Safari. Here is how it looks: http://d.pr/i/hVDm

    How can this happen, and how can I prevent if from happening?

    Regards,
    tammelin

    I should add that the background color is set using background in CSS. The background is not an image …

    @tammelin Are you using Mountain Lion? Check Firefox and compare them.

    This might be the solution overall though if you’ve done this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6246569/938664

    This was posted as a bug in Chrome and someone linked to a fix: http://www.brilliantthinking.net/2012/08/06/how-to-fix-screen-colour-changes-in-mountain-lion-osx/ but read the comments first.

    thanks a lot!

    after repairing the permissions and restarting chrome the colors now displays correctly!

    like the guy on stackoverflow I am also using an external monitor with a custom color profile. this seems to be the source of the issue. although the color looked fine in both safari and firefox all the time.

    thanks again!
