I hadn't got to your posting when I replied - & it's not that I don't believe you, but I was just giving feedback on what's happening on my screens as I saw it ... had another look in daylight across the range of macs here - yeah, anything's better than getting on with own work! - you definitely get a serious difference here in old Netscapes on system 8 on one machine... But sorry, I *still* don't get a visible difference on my own macs in IE. The background's supposed to be #666666?
[I could kick you, Tom, as my partner is now indulging in low-key whining & moaning again about his Flash plug not working properly ... only asked him to look at the URL at all because he's colourblind too! <shakes head sadly>]
Thanks for the eyedropper link - had a similar app on my old machine, but it was one of those that didn't get reinstalled on this one after the hard drive reformatting in april.

I guess I was just talking to myself earlier... the Flash background and the page background are most definitely *different*! The difference is *visible* to me, and I was even 'classified' as 'color blind' 35 years ago! ;-)
The Flash background is a solid hex#686868, whereas the page background is a dithered pattern made up of alternating pixels of hex#686868 and hex#606460.
If you don't believe me, just check it out for yourself with "Eye Dropper 3.01" available free from...

can those of you running mas os have a look at http://www.irishphoto.com/index.html and tell me whether the flash movie in the top left corner has the same background colour as the web page?
Yes it does - there is a faint dotted paler line around the red symbol,which I presume is intentional, but the bg appears the same on the flash as the webpage.
My client is getting a different bg color on his system, I cannot replicate it on my (or any other) machine.
Two different iMacs on desk here, one running your page in IE 5 on system 8.6, other IE 5.1 on Mac Os X & IE 5 on system 9 , both fine. What's your client running?
