White background, different formats give the same result. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcolor-changing-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [a2hostingrj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a2hostingrj/) * (@a2hostingrj) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-changing-issue/#post-10538496) * Can you upload a screenshot of the original and the one after upload? By the way you are explaining, it seems like there might be a web-kit filter applied to the image. * Thread Starter [dedok3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dedok3000/) * (@dedok3000) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-changing-issue/#post-10538560) * Well, this is the original: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/duXsDxE) * and this is what I’m getting on the site: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/iwbXyj3) * It’s easily noticeable that the color of the logo doesn’t match the color of the menu while they are both supposed to be #e06016… * I also tried to disable all the plugins, same result. * I’m not sure what a web-kit filter is. - This reply was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by [dedok3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dedok3000/). * [a2hostingrj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a2hostingrj/) * (@a2hostingrj) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-changing-issue/#post-10538569) * I understand now.

How is this possible? * It could be that the image contains a embedded color profile. This will make the colors different because Chrome doesn’t support color profiles. * Like the above article said, I suggest to save all images with sRGB color profile, then it’ll look the same in the browser. * Thread Starter [dedok3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dedok3000/) * (@dedok3000) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-changing-issue/#post-10538634) * Looks like if I save it with sRGB profile, #e06016 becomes #ff6000… I want to keep #e06016 🙁 Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Color changing issue’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [color](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/color/) * [images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/images/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [dedok3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dedok3000/) * Last activity: [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/color-changing-issue/#post-10538634) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
