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.
