When I set the browser or content background color, EverWeb exports it as a shade lighter. For example... #444444 publishes as #555555 #FF0000 publishes as #FF2600 ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi Roddy, All colors are converted to an sRGB format to provide the most consistent look across web browsers and devices. Color management is a very complex subject in web design. Not just with EverWeb, but web design in general. Every monitor, device, and web browser handle colors differently and will have slight differences in their outputted color because many devices aren't capable of displaying the same spectrum of colors. What yo see in your browser on a Mac in Safari will be different than what you see on Windows in Internet Explorer, however only very slightly. The color profiles in your System Settings help you adjust the spectrum of colors that your monitor will display. You can learn more about this but it gets very complicated. Long store short, you can never rely on a color being consistent across all browsers, monitors and devices AND you can never rely on matching an HTML color with a color found in an image file. If EverWeb did not export colors in sRGB format, the differences would be much bigger between devices/browsers/monitors. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

The problem is that, entering the same color number for two different objects on the same page results in different numbers being exported. I noticed the behavior when testing a full width widget and wanted the browser background to show the same background color as the widget - above and below it. When I enter #444444 in the widget settings, it is published as #444444. When I enter the same number when setting the browser background in the Page inspector, it appears as #555555 in the source code of the published page. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi Roddy, In that case, they should be consistent. Can you email me the widget and I'll do some testing? ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

I have sent it. Here's a DEMO. Click the bottom dot in the vertical navigation and, if the browser window is high enough you will see the difference between the widget background and the browser background - both set to #444444. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi everyone, I have a similar problem - the color I choose for the caption of my image slider and as a background in my text boxes, i.e. #006633 appears different when I choose it as the background of my footer. Has there been a solution to this problem? Any help is much appreciated. Dorothea |
