The tabbed navigation of Tumblr (when logged in) uses RGBA colours i've noticed that they are different to how they appear in Windows. They also appear different (lighter) in Firefox.

  • Ubuntu: 11.10 (Current)
  • Google Chrome: 14.0.835.202 (Current)
  • Mozilla Firefox: 7.0.1 (Current)

I have also installed the extensions Missing e. This does not affect it, and still appears when uninstalled/disabled.

I am asking if this is reproducible, either on this site only or worldwide.

It's not clear to me exactly what differences you're concerned with. You seem familiar with HTML, so I think you should create a simple test with RGBA colors and use that instead of full Tumblr screenshots. Then, you can easily share the source as well. – slacy Oct 15 '11 at 22:24

Colors are specified in sRGB in CSS (CSS 2.1 s4.3.6), but some OS/browser combinations don’t know how to translate this into your display’s color space.

So this is a Chrome to Screen via Ubuntu Problem? Would it be specific to my machine, or affect all Google Chrome on Ubuntu? I want to know whether this is a reproducible bug. – lewisgoddard Oct 16 '11 at 11:54
