Question

Is there a possibility to make image colors exactly the same as HTML colors?

I have a rounded corners box, the corners are images and the background color is HTML, on my laptop it looks flawless, but on good monitors a difference in colors is noticeable.

Is it true that it isn’t possible to have HTML generated colors exactly match image colors?

edit: I am using Photoshop and am using the exact hex equivalent of the RGB colors.

Answer 1

Another potential solution: you’re seeing a color shift caused by color profiles.

These could be due to how those other monitors are configured (you can update your machine to use a specific profile; folks like designers will do this to make sure colors are accurate in photography or print design) or due to how your images are saved when exporting them from your favorite image editing tool (I’m looking at you, Photoshop). These issues can and will occur regardless of whether or not your hex colors are spot on and are ridiculously frustrating.

Give that link a shot; if you’re dealing with an embedded color profile issue, that might get you going in the right direction.

Edit: That you’re exporting from Photoshop makes me think this is the likely culprit.
