Web Colors vs Not Web Colors

[outsourceoncall]

I am going bonkers, I have create a new site using a certain color in the header and footer bars... see:

The problem is that I used the following non-web colors...

R: 88
G: 94
B: 118

However, when others have seen the test page above, they say that my "BLUE" is grey on there screen, and they ae using 32bit true color display settings.

IS there anything I can do short of simply using web only colors????

The problem is the visitors to your site. They may have an old computer, old monitor, old software. Which means they may see your Web site in a different way than you intend (like the example you gave). Just like fonts--if you use a fancy font and they don't have it on their computer, it reverts to the default--the color does the same thing.

Is there a work around? Of a sort. Create an image of the color you want. Otherwise, stick with Web friendly colors so you don't get unexpected results on other computers.
