Well - this could be for many reasons. The color / bit resolution on the monitor may be different, the overall settings for brightness, contrast etc, can really have this type of effect. Many video cards now come with custom software to 'calibrate' or tweak your colors - so that can also change the look.
To test this theory, you can try limiting yourself to a 16 color pallete, and build a small sample page. Then go look at again on the other computer at your relatives house. If it looks horrible, then it may not be you, rather the settings ;-)
You really can't please everyone. If your site looks good to you - get it reviewed by a few other webmasters. If they give you a nod - then the few with monitor settings that look like a 1950's television set will have to suffer ;-)

Any ideas of any software out there or checkers that can read my site and tell me what to do to make it browser-able for everyone?

I'm not aware of anything worth while. The best bet may be to validate to XHTML or HTML 4.01 standards, and work your look/image around what is acceptable. This way the top browsers are 'forced' in a sense to interpret your site the way you meant it to be.
Keep trying :-) !
