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.
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!
