I've recently began doing some basic web design. In Dreamweaver I chose a background color (#001B39) and then created a .jpg in Photoshop CS with borders that are the same color according to the color selection function in Photoshop. I then placed the image into my web page in the open Dreamweaver app. But, when I go to view my work in progress in Safari, the colors don't match up. However, when I view the page in IE or Firefox, the colors match up fine.

Anyone else ever experience this? What is the reason for it? And what can be done to solve the issue?

Make sure you save with a sRGB profile.

The reason is that some browsers do colour adjustments with ColorSync according to the colour profile that is saved with the image and other browsers don't do it (or maybe some browsers do it incorrectly).

You should be able to avoid this problem by saving your images without a colour profile.

Colour profile in the images was causing the issue, and the advice helped me fix the problem. Thank you so much, fellas.

Now, if only Photoshop didn't have a bug that made it always save profiles in PNG files.
