Cameron,
Sometimes there's an issue with the gamma difference between Macs and PCs. I don't think that's entirely the case here. I've had some issues with images exported from Photoshop CS (probably ver. 7 too) using the 'save for web' feature or whatever it's called. That being them having minor color difference issues, but I don't think thats the problem either.
If you collapse the 'feature box' above the grey box, the shade difference disappears. When it isn't collapsed I swear I can see a faint continuation of the difference over the diagonal line background to the feature box. Like there's a 'box' there with some light transparency (5%) causing the issue. I dropped the screen from millions of colors to thousands and it made the 'ghost box' more apparent on my iBook.
I would probably guess it to be a bug in KHTML, since it won't duplicate in Firefox, Mozilla 1.7, Opera 7.5, Camino, or IE5.2 (what little of it I could see...totally fubar'd in IE). It also wouldn't duplicate in IE 6 under Win2kPro/VPC on the same machine. It did duplicate in Echo, which is another KHTML based browser on the Mac platform.

Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone knew why on my site:
http://www.themaninblue.com/
a Mac using a display of millions of colours (in Safari) renders the images in the main grey panel differently, thus creating a visible line on either side of the content. Whereas on PC it is seamless.
I'm guessing it arises because I use a JPEG for the main middle part, and GIFs for the two sides (or vice versa) and the computer is rendering the colours differently? But on a PC machine it's all fine and no discrepancies can be seen.
This also happens on another site I'm developing, where the CSS background-color differs from the JPEG background image on Mac, but looks fine on PC.
If anyone knows a solution it would be much appreciated.
