...as a content provider?

So let's say I create original artwork in HTML5+SVG that I publish on the web. This artwork looks different in Firefox and Chrome than it does in Safari. I don't have a Windows box to test at the moment.

Is there some color profile magic I can do to make the artwork render consistently? For example, would electing sRGB for all my content leverage the common denominator in my favor?





Thanks for the link @wmf.

I took a look at the front page of iconfactory.com which is the site where the book author posted this:

http://blog.iconfactory.com/2016/12/making-sense-of-color-ma...

It looks like they aren't demonstrating a least common denominator fix there. This is understandable, as least common denominator probably doesn't look great for most modern icons.

Might still buy the book. Just did the screenshot as a quick study.


Answering myself: This blog post has some good info on the topic. http://cameratico.com/guides/web-browser-color-management-gu...
