Could it be because of the colour depth on the mac?
Jpeg makes an approximation of the colours used (like in the original
file) for better optimisation. 
So on the PC its using a different colour depth and the jpeg appears
okay but on the mac it has a more limited depth so it doesnt?

Subject: [WSG] Mac (Safari) rendering of colours

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone knew why on my site:

http://www.themaninblue.com/

a Mac using a display of millions of colours (in
Safari) renders the images in the main grey panel differently, thus
creating a visible line on either side of the content. Whereas on PC it
is seamless.

I'm guessing it arises because I use a JPEG for the main middle part,
and GIFs for the two sides (or vice
versa) and the computer is rendering the colours differently? But on a
PC machine it's all fine and no discrepancies can be seen.

This also happens on another site I'm developing, where the CSS
background-color differs from the JPEG background image on Mac, but
looks fine on PC.

If anyone knows a solution it would be much appreciated.
