I should have specified that on my PC's the image is red on Windows 7 when loaded in internet explorer (no color management) and blue in IE on WIn XP (again no color management.) If it is green the app is honoring the color profile.

Opening the motorcycle pic  in Safari on my Mac, it's green. If I save it and 
open it in photoshop, it's still green and I can see its color profile is 
Microsoft BGR Test Profile.

Toine -

Your thought got me thinking about a website I visited a few years ago. Never thought I'd 
find it bu reading this thread again today I googled "vista color management 
motorcycle image" and badda-bing badda-boom there it was. Check out this image:

http://www.mscwar.com/members/sniperx/greentest.jpg

According the website -

If the motorcycle is blue, the embedded profile was completely ignored. (you 
don't have color mangment)
If the motorcycle is green, the embedded ICC profile was honored. (you have 
color managment enabled
If the motorcycle is red, then you're running Windows Vistaâ„¢ and you have color 
mangment enabled

The discussion thread for this is here:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=32115.0;wap2

FWIW - on my Windows 7 machine with color management enabled the motorcycle is 
red. On the same machine, using Firefox with color management enabled, the 
motorcycle is green. On another machine, running WinXP with no color management 
(other than calibrize) the motorcyle is blue.

Hopefully this is helpful.

What if the monitor is factory calibrated and has a devices specific profile?
Calibration could/should be more accurate if you spend enough money on
a accurate device.

The real problem/suspect is Windows (and maybe OSX). Windows for sure
can't handle wide gamut profiles with or without a PhD in color
management.

I would also say that getting a wide gamut monitor before you get
calibration/profiling hardware and software is getting your priorities
wrong, but perhaps that's just me.
