You're right about the tint.  In fact the story is even more interesting 
than that.  I just measured three colors, on one of maps, using Moz, 
IE6, and the original.

[red, green, blue]

Tan:
Orig: 239, 232, 223
IE6:  239, 231, 223
Moz:  239, 235, 222

Yellow [pure]:  They are all exact

Blue [not pure]:
Orig:  175, 199, 208
IE6:   165, 195, 206
Moz:   173, 199, 214

This phenominon [pardon the spelling, no spell checker in Moz] may be 
due to whether or not, and how, the rendering agents use the system's 
Color Management settings.

Though it is not obvious to me why anyone would screw with the color 
space in a browser.  It can only make the colors appear different than 
the posted image.

Maybe some knowledgeble folks could weigh in on this subject.
