Website colors look different on different screens

Hi! I am not finished with my website yet, but I decided to test it on a few different computers to see how it looked. I discovered that depending on the screen and the angle it was viewed from oranges would become reds, some colors would be washed out, and so on. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do? Am I just stuck with it looking different on different screens?

The link is http://www.linuxloop.com/index.shtml Don't just go to linuxloop.com or you will just get a page that says the site does not exist yet.

Thanks!

Unfortunately different screens are set to different brightness, contrast and colour levels and so the colours of everything - not just your site - will be altered.

There is nothing you can do really.

Thanks. Any colors bad or good in terms of looking the same?

Not really since all colours are affected equally by monitor specification, so if it looks ok on your setup it should look fine (not the same but still good) on any other set up
