[thelist] Colour issues - colours showing up another colour

I find this most intriguing.  I assume you mean you have a graphic
background and not a hex code?
I too have run into a problem where images that were completely websafe when
I made them (and show up as websafe on my monitor) are dithered or appearing
with some tint on other peoples' displays.  I'm thinking there's nothing to
be done about it, nature of the field. *shrug*

On an interesting related note,  I recently bought a mousepade from
designbrand.com.  When I received it, I noticed that the primary colors are
duplicated on the outside (red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink).
However, "#0000FF" is clearly a purple color (and is under the purple
primary) and #00FFFF" is under blue, and shows as blue, but clearly is not a
straight blue color.  Green, Yellow, and Red are perfect.  This is all
merely by eye, and I am in no ways color blind. :)

I complained a few times, and eventually the president of the company
replied courteously to my letter, and instead of telling me they weren't
legally responsible (like his support did), he refunded my money plus 4
bucks to ship it back. :)  I am much satisfied by their service, and I hope
to see a colorwheel mousepad from them with better colors in the future.

What I -am- interested in is visibone's color poster.  I -love- the splash
effect, and I think I'm going to shell out some dough for it.
