web safe colors
I read the thread was written about safe colors but I couldn't solve the problem.Although,background color code of my picture is the same with my color code that I used in DR4 or frontpage, they don't look the same in prewiew where am I wrong ?
I put an example to:

Something's going wrong with your site there. All I see is a green navbar across the top and in IE a beige box in the middle with an empty graphic box which takes a really long time to come up. Looking at your source, your IMG tag is still referencing a file on your hard drive. Use relative paths to make sure that your files reference each other properly.
Let us know when you've got that fixed and hopefully someone can solve that problem for you.

whoops! Megan beat me to it -- I got distracted by my husband's witty AIM chatter.
Let us know when we can see the image!

I can't see a difference there at all. Have you seen this on any other computers besides your own? You may have a colour calibration problem with your monitor.

I don't see at problem at 16bit, and I have a crappy sensitive monitor that I'm using (excellent for testing!). Whoops, edited to add that there is a very slight colour shift. If you're using a gif, try making it transparent (you should be using gifs for text, anyway).
If you need to use a jpeg, then save the background colour as a jpeg with the same compression and use that as a tiled background. That will remove any hitchiness.
I would think that calibration might be the problem, otherwise, or maybe you are using 256?

I'm seeing it as well in Netscape only at 16-bit.
Go back to the graphics app and doublecheck that you used the right code? As a workaround, you could make a 1x1 tile image in that colour to use as a background

just a note: don't use a 1x1 tiling graphic. use at least 30x30 pixels. Otherwise it takes forever for the browser to render the background.
