Why worry about color balance and Gamma so much? The browsers have their own ideas of what your photos should look like even with color profiles embedded. This is a really good reason to be a black and white shooter ;-p Chrome is the pink, contrasty one on the left, Safari is the green, flat one on the right. The ideal would be in between....

The color numbers are exactly the same, being that they're the same file, but the rendering is different with each of the browsers. Therefore, they both look exactly the same when viewed as you've presented them because we're seeing them side by side in the same browser. For me/us to see the difference, we'd have to view them in the different browsers, as you've done.
I don't have Chrome, so I won't be trying that. Safari and Firefox seem to be rendering them the same.

Maybe, just maybe, one of these days the browsers will adopt a standardized rendering engine that faithfully displays the colors of the embedded profile. I would suspect that the majority of people don't really care though--all they want is the content, accurate, or not. <end rant> :-)

Frank,

Do you have the latest version of Chrome? Do you have color management enabled in it?

Mark,

that would solve the problem for Frank, but it would not work for "the masses" - web visitors of which most don't even know there is a color space, that there could be several of them, and that it really makes a difference... ;)

I am afraid there is no solution...

You're right Jiri. The best we can do is calibrate our monitors and tag our web images with sRGB profile. After that, it's out of our hands.
