I wouldn't say precise color. Consistently bad maybe. This behavior is very 
irritating on high-gamut monitors. Images on the web are designed for sRGB-like 
monitors, and they look horrible (pink and oversaturated in my case) on 
monitors that have significantly different color space.

(this is system-wide problem in OS X, e.g. rendering of Dock icons is also bad 
and inconsistent, so perhaps it needs to be fixed outside Safari...)
