Color Matching

Hey guys, I'm brand new here and I have a question that I am just stumped on. I've never had this problem before.

Anyway, I can't match these two colors in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I can either match it in IE and have it wrong in FF or match it in FF and have it wrong in IE. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe it's just my browsers/computer? Anyway, any help at all would be appreciated. I just hope I don't hear the dreaded, "There is no fix!" :p

The website in question:
http://www.jamesafoley.webs.com/

It's a personal site for my older brother's various artistry, if anyone is curious.

if you are using the same hexadecimal codes, then I would guess that it must be the browser/computer.

Have you tested it on other computers and browsers?

Windows machined generally have a darker display.

I see the color shift you are talking about...no worries here is your solution.

the problem is that your PNGs images are rendering differently in IE. You need to clean/fix the color channels. Search for this app PNG Crush

Once you run the images through this they will render like they do in FF

Suggestions:

Why use the png images to create the table border and fill? They are not needed, you can achieve the same look with simple html code.

The bg color in question is #858685 (not web safe), however color #858585 is web safe. There is very little difference between the two. Something to keep in mind.
