One thing I've noticed is that Chrome and Safari have a visible difference in color management. Try opening [0] (<style> body { background-color: rgb(88,174,235); } </style>) in both browsers side-by-side, for example.

On my Mac they look the same. https://www.evernote.com/l/AAG4fivAqoxHTb61wKDTesbMbR-OWtXd31o https://www.evernote.com/l/AAG4fivAqoxHTb61wKDTesbMbR-OWtXd3...

  FF and Chrome look the same to me as well. Safari looks different.

    FF and Chrome are both broken w/r/t color management.

      http://www.gballard.net/firefox/ http://www.gballard.net/firefox/ Edge & Firefox support color management; though for best results in firefox you'll want to toggle http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.mode http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.mode to 1 - the default is 2, which is Not Good. Edge works out of the box.

  They are the same, but the actual colour in that screenshot is 99,183,238 which (un?)surprisingly is different from the 88,174,235 specified: http://i.imgur.com/PtkjfVj.png http://i.imgur.com/PtkjfVj.png

Is this a Mac-specific quirk, and what happens if you take a screenshot and compare the pixel values? On my Windows system I tried Chromium, Firefox, IE, and Opera (no Safari), they looked exactly the same. Taking a screenshot and sampling the pixel values gives 88,174,235 for all the browsers, as expected.

  This is what I'm getting. Safari on right, Chrome on left. https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmS8hkCPxGr7iLDqotuHG6NXNeSesmQSWJGNKjX2f3PKoS https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmS8hkCPxGr7iLDqotuHG6NXNeSesmQSWJGNK... When Digital Color Meter (color-sampling tool on Mac) is set to "display native values," Chrome's values are consistent with CSS. When DCM is set to "display in sRGB," Safari's values are consistent with the CSS. edit: Not shown in screenshot, but Firefox is the same as Chrome.

    It looks like in Chrome, the display profile correction is not being applied. If you change it to sRGB both are the same. Safari is doing the right thing here.

      Chrome has a bug filed: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=254361&q=color%20srgb&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=254361... I can't tell if Firefox has a bug for this exact issue, but they do have some open color-management related issues.

        Firefox has the same bug. It has a non-default hidden option where you could previously set it to work correctly, but that option stopped working some time ago (at least on OS X). Chrome has had this bug filled 7 years ago, and they kept ignoring it (although it's a very popular bug, people complain about it all the time). It drives me insane. Basically I am forced to run Safari, although I'd very much prefer to use an open source browser.
