Vista - Not Seeing True HTML Colors

Not Seeing True HTML Colors

I use an online service to create emails, and the true colors aren't showing up. The best example is color code #cccccc which should be a definite gray color, but when viewed on a pc running Vista, it looks blue. This appears to be a Vista issue, because on any computer running any other OS it looks fine.

This is not cool because when building my website or sending html emails, I don't see the real product. Any help?

Sounds more like you need to adjust your monitor.

Re: Not Seeing True HTML Colors

Agreed. It is also one of the reasons why you should install the monitor driver (if available). This is not a driver per se, rather it is an information file which tells your system the capabilities of your monitor. Usually included with that is a colour profile which, if enabled, takes the colour data and modifies it according to the table within the profile so that colours are reproduced correctly on that particular monitor.

Re: Not Seeing True HTML Colors

Thanks for the responses, but can that be the issue if EVERY Vista running pc has the same problem? I can send you examples of the email if you like.

Can you direct me to a link where I can find instructions to follow your advice anyway?
