Color matching between image files and HTML colors in diff browsers

[topmind]

I have long encountered an odd phenom where a graphics file (GIF or
PNG) is matched with an HTML color to provide a smooth transition.
However, different browsers seem to display them differently such that
matching in IE won't match in Mozilla, etc.

I have to use IF statements in the code to change the HTML color
depending on the browser brand.

I've read an old message about "broken gamma" in browsers, whatever the
heck that means. It appears to be a known bug that browser vendor(s)
refuse to fix.

Being that it was an old message (7 years or so), is the situation
still the same? IF statements live on? (Some recommend using flat
graphics for back-ground colors instead of HTML.)

Thanks

WEBPAGE COLORS ARE FILTERED BY WEB(BROWSER) SOFTWARE TO PROVIDE COLORS
THAT CAN BE SEEN BY COLORBLIND PERSONS USING THE INTERNET. THIS IS A
FEDERAL MANDATE FOR ACCESSABILITY FOR COLORBLIND PERSONS. LOTS OF
COLORBLIND WEBSITES AND WEBCOLOR -WEBSITES EXIST THAT GIVE VERY GOOD
INFO ON THE APPROPIATE CHOICES. YOU APPARENTLY NEED KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT
FILTERS ARE USED. THERE IS A VIEWER DESIGNED BY A COLORBLIND WEB
DESIGNER THAT USES A "MAGNIFIER" TOOL TIP TO SCAN A WEBPAGE TO GIVE HER
THE WEB COLOR PARAMATERS OF A COLORED WEB IMAGE-ICON. I HAVE MIS FILED
THE INFO ON THIS DEVICE, BUT LOOKING MAY FIND THE SOURCE.
