Light On Dark Water

Thanks to the computer problems I’ve been having, I’ve used four different monitors in the past week or so, and have discovered that the background color of this page is very different on each one. On the LCD screen of the laptop where I originally picked the color, it’s a sort of mild tan-ish or beige-ish color, I guess somewhere between yellow and brown, which is (obviously) the way I intend it to look. On a CRT monitor it’s an unpleasantly bright yellow. On a larger desktop LCD monitor it’s also more yellow than tan or brown, although not as bright as on the CRT, but still way too yellow.

I’ve heard graphic designers complain about trying to use color on the web, that they can never be sure what the viewer is actually going to see. I see what they mean. Now I’m wondering how many people see this as definitely yellow. I’ll probably be fiddling with it some over the next week or so.
