Some skins add highlights too. Look at the actual skin class for your component for info.

You might want to check the underlying component type for possible default alpha values. Would definately effect how vibrant your colors are.

Consult something like http://digg.com/design/Flex_3_Style_Explorer_now_online or the docs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html too make sure thats not the issue. I also find the Firefox add-on colorzilla (http://www.colorzilla) a good sanity check - it didn't used to work on Flash/Flesh objects until a few upgrades back.

Button which is a class that underlies many components has alpha values that are inherited down the food chain.

Along with a portion of the filterBoxes background color. You can see the different in hues. The flash portion looks very desaturated from the PS screenshot. Anyone got any ideas? I have seen this before, but I never could figure out why my colors looked like crap.

.filterBoxes {
    background-color: #313e4a;
    color: #ffffff;
    selection-color: #414d59;
}


.header {
    background-color: #182028, #304050;
    background-ratio: 140, 255;
    border-color: #000000, #ffffff;
    border-alpha: 0.35, 0.80;
    corner-radii: 20px, 20px, 0px, 0px;
}


ProgressBar {
    barColor: #79abb7, #457d95;
    trackColors: #3d4751, #1b232e;
    borderColor: #1a1f29;
}

I've got no clue to a solution, but I'm curious: what are some example RGB strings that you're working with?

When I take a color out of Photoshop and into flex it looks very desaturated. I've searched online, but didn't come up with a straight forward answer to this.

As I understand Flash is sRGB, and I believe my photoshop file is sRGB (not totally sure). However, obviously something is off because the colors aren't matching. I can't seem to find any information about matching Flex and Photoshop colors. I'm seeing problems with the hex values I pick up from the interface as well as an image I export. So what's the secret sauce? I'm sure this is simple.

Thanks
