Differing sidebar colors in IE vs Firefox

  • I thought I was seeing things, but screen captures have actually shown that my sidebar on https://choosehealing.com has 2 different colors between IE and Firefox.

    I am trying to blend the adsense background into the sidebar and it’s only working on IE now because I’ve set that color code.

    Anyone have similar problems or know of a solution to this?

    Many thanks,

  • You should check that your sidebar’s “colour” is an image ??

    Thanks for your reply.

    The answer is yes, it is an image.

    If I visit this link:

    https://choosehealing.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg

    in both IE and Firefox, it looks different.

    When I load the image into Photoshop – the color is 249,249,249 or F9F9F9.

    If I do a screen capture from IE, the color is 247,247,247 or F7F7F7.

    If I do a screen capture from Firefox, the color is 255,251,255 or FFFBFF.

    This is bizzare and does not make sense to me. Is it my specific system and monitor causing this or can others see this difference as well?

    Probably you are right but nobody cares.
    (my results are: f9f9f9 in FF, and f7f7f7f in IE)

    I cannot see much difference but there obvious is as you’ve tested it. Very slight.

    I’m not sure if the Kubrick jpeg you use is gradiated, but if not, you might just be better off using css to colour the sidebar as that will always give a truer representation of the colour than using images.

    I’d try a png file just out of interest, or even a gif, they might fare better in coming across as what you intended.

    I doubt anyone will notice a gnats eye worth of difference, but try the png to see how it goes if you feel that way inclined.
