Hi,

I am designing a website on my Mac. I have the perfect colors. However, when I view the page on a PC, it is shockingly different, not just slightly different. Is there a program that I can plug in HTML colors and either select Mac or PC gamma and get an equivalent color that I should use on the other platform? For example, in PHP, I could serve up different colors depending on the platform of the user visiting the page, and they would look the same on both computers.

Thanks!

You could try using the standard Web palette (216 colors) that should appear nearly identical on both systems. Of course, this will greatly limit the range of colors you can use, but I've rarely found that to be a problem.
