    Flash/Photoshop Color Problems

    Okay...here goes. I have two Macs - a G5 and a Powerbook - and have the same problem on both, so it's not a monitor thing or anything like that...

    When laying out stuff in Photoshop, my colors look great. However, when I use the Save for Web tool, the colors become completely muttled and muted! I found that I could Ctrl-Click on the image in that dialog, and choose "Document Color Profile" in the color options, and that made it look better while still in the dialog. But either way, when I import the images into flash (.jpg, .gif, or .png) they have that same muttled look. No bright rich colors. I even took the exact Hex values from Photoshop and used them as a fill color in Flash and the color still looks muted?! What gives?

    I'm using Photoshop CS and Flash MX 2004. Is there some kind of color correction setting i'm using in either Photoshop or Flash that's causing this difference in color? What can i do?

    Thanks...any help would be great!

    Check that your psd documents are RGB rather than CMYK, the colours will get changed when converting to RGB otherwise (i.e. when saving for web).

    If thats not the problem you could try turning the colour management off.
