    Hi everyone, I just tested the site I'm creating on on a pc and the css colors look completely different. Everything is just a lot brighter and you can barely see the colors. I understand that it's bound to look different on different computers and screens but this is a bit too much.

    I have tried using css color safe colors (https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp) but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone have any tips on how to make the colors at least look close enough regardless of computer or screen?

    Would appreciate any help or advice on how to solve this issue.

    Thanks,

    Brooke

    From a coding perspective, there isn't anything that can be done. There are so many factors at play here that unless you have hardware level capabilities there isn't much you would be able to change. The difference you are seeing is very likely due to the gamma settings on the two systems.
