Hey all, I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. Here's what the problem is...

I'm in the process of building a website on my friend's PC and tesing files on a server but when I get home and check out the pages on both of my home PCs, the colors aren't showing up as they should. Essentially, the entire site has a gray/green hue to it. But, when I get back to my friend's place and view it there, the colors are clearly defined. We're both using IE6, and I also viewed it on my PCs in Mozilla Firefox as well and it still persists.

Not sure why it's fine on one PC and not on the other two. Has anyone had the same problem or know what this could be?

Much appreciated.

It's probably just differences between the computers monitor settings and graphics cards. Mainly color temps set on the monitors and contrast settings. A lot of your colors will show up off on different systems, just because of these differences.

but they shouldn't be 2 completely different colors...

It actually is possible. I encountered this at work on a website I designed. I had a gray background, the client said they couldn't see anything on the black background. I checked co-workers machines and we had differing shades of gray, down to black. Though that might be a bad example since it was a dark shade of gray. :buckt:
