i ran across something i have never seen before. the page has a top div and a footer div. both with an image as background. mirrored the image as well via photoshop.

now the weird thing is, it shows a different color. see http://www.hp-consultants.nl

when i tilt my screen towards me the colors become the same. even in photoshop i notice the difference. does anyone know what is wrong?

ive tried using regular CSS colors instead of a background image, to no effect. even the same image shows a difference

thanks!

    There’s nothing wrong with your page. Using Photohop’s colour picker confirms that the colours are both indeed exactly the same.

    The effect probably happens because you’re sitting in front of a TFT monitor, whose display is sensitive to the angle you look at it from.

    Some useful background information:

    • LCD Test: Viewing angle

    • Wikipedia on TFT LCDs:

      TN displays suffer from limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. Colors will shift when viewed off-perpendicular. In the vertical direction, colors will shift so much that they will invert past a certain angle.
