Hey everyone! This is my first post here, but there will probably be more, because I've been running into snags lately.

Ok so here is my problem....I made myself a really pretty graphic in psp7 for the top of my website. The hex# for the background of the graphic, and for my page are the same, but when I view my page, I can tell a pretty big difference between the background, and the graphic. It's really bugging me, and I can't seem to fix it. I can get a screenshot for you to see if you need it.

have a look here (http://www.lynda.com/hex.html)

I understand that a browser displaying an image is/can be different than when it displays a hex code.

The best thing to do is to make the background color of your graphic transparent to match the color of your background. I do it a lot ;)

I cant do that, because of the way the graphic is made. I used a guassian blur to fade the picture into the background, added text to it, etc. The hex code is the same, but the color doesn't look the same.

Is it a png by any chance? They do that to me too, what i do is screencap the page and use the eyedropper thing to get the hex code, its usually slightly different to when viewing the png on its own (if you know what i mean) and seems to work.

when i make graphics, sometimes the background color is off because:

I've changed the opacity of the background color in the image.

Change the hue.

Or basically, doing anything to the background color in the image, could throw off matching of the two colors.

I use this program a lot:

It helps me, because i can capture any color on the screen, and convert between RGB to hex, and back.

Basically, this could help you by using this on your site. Simply put the eyedropper over the image background color (while on your site), and put the eyedropper on the actual background of the page. See a difference? If you absolutely cannot correct it within the image, change the background color of your page to the background color of the image.

That's usually what I do when I troubleshoot this problem when it occurs. Hope it helped :)

This program is very, very good! I would also recommend using the IDE they offer as well. I have also had this problem and the program did fix it for me.
