I'm working on designing a web layout and I'm using dream weaver CS3. I'm designing in Photoshop CS3 Extended. My question is, the orange Color in my layout when tested and imported in to Dream Weaver the image is showing up almost a brownish orange color instead of the orange color in the photoshop file. I changed the color synch in photoshop so that all my work flow is consistent across other platforms. Do you know why the orange in my Photoshop file is showing up like that in Dream Weaver? And is there anywhere inside of Dream Weaver to adjust this color problem?

Files attached!

Thanks in advance

Make sure you are designing on RGB scale and not in CMYK. This one is not suitable for internet purposes.

Thanks, I'm designing in RGB scale. Do you happen to know any other tips to check or what may be causing this? And it seems to happen primarily with orange colors.

is the color code identical in both programs? seems like an odd problem to have, and no doubt maddening...

What color management profile are you using ? Are you using "save for web" to gif, jpg or png ?

I think I may have found my problem. When I look at the layout final output on Firefox the output still looks like the orange is a little brownish verse Safari, it is giving me the out put based on the color codes I originally used in the design. So I guess I'll have to live with it, if you can look at the url and let me know how it looks on your end that would be great. Thanks for your help guys. www.thedesignzone.net, Still looks brownish in dream weaver like it does on Firefox.

Thanks

Looks orange to me, not brown.

I have to say though that the font on your menu is difficult to read, not very legible. You might want to consider a different font choice.

Hello DesignZone,

Here's what I see in Firefox, the "G" in the logo along with the "Under Construction" sign appear to be a bright orange, although the construction cones appear to be a little darker orange. With the words on the top "The and Zone" along with menu appear to be a burnt orange.

I have to agree with LadynRed the text on the left side isn't too legible....
