Color accuracy by Apocaplops.
Jorn Ake brought to my attention the vast difference between browsers as far as color accuracy goes. I use Safari, which he says is best at displaying accurate colors on the web, so I never really noticed. I opened up my 5 browsers to compare, and this is the result. The moss should be pretty near neon acid green, and the rock should be a slate blue. Safari and Shiira got it right, but Explorer, Firefox, and Camino all convert it to a olive green color.

Interesting.

Very cool, Eric. Thanks for posting the side by sides. Quite illuminating.

Is your desktop background a shot from the glass bridge in Tacoma?

Nope, it's the glass ceiling in the lobby of the Bellagio hotel in Vegas.

The Bellagio, huh? Seems I remember someone saying the same guy that did the bridge also did a lot of glass work for the Bellagio. From what I can see from your wallpaper it looks pretty similar-

Firefox ver. 3 will allow colour proiling which will make it the same as Safari. Until it comes out of beta though there will be huge differences between browsers...
