hex colours display differently in Firefox and Safari

  • I am using the Digital Raindrops child theme for my wordpress twenty eleven website ungewinster.com and it works like a charm when it comes to changing the colours.

    I used to have a black menu background as well as a mainly black header, making it appear as though the header went seamlessly into the menu (which worked really well in any browser). Now I have a new header (which isn’t finished yet, therefore its quite pixely at the moment) and I wanted to give the menu the same colour as the rest of the site-background, which is F9F9F9

    However when I adjust the code (in the Raindrops menu or anywhere else) the colour of the menu appears to be FAFAFA -which is quite a bit lighter- even though the backgrounds for all the other parts of the site are correctly displayed as F9F9F9
    This problem seems to disappear when i use Firefox to view the site, but in Safari its clearly visible.

    Are there any suggestions? or are there certain colours that will always be displayed correctly and one should stick to these?

  • It is in fact quite a strange behavior. What comes to my mind is that maybe that FAFAFA colour was used previously and it just “sits in” Safari’s cache…?

    hey there, thanks for the answer ??
    I have already tried to empty the cache (under Develop-Empty Caches, i hope that was right…) and unfortunately the problem remains…

    …or is there maybe the possibility of setting the background of the menu to transparent somehow? I tried to figure this out, but have really no idea…
