my header.png has a color of #00CCFF, my background also has a color of #00CCFF. but when I use IE to render it, the color of the header.png is changed to #00C6FF

here is a visual look

I changed the header.png to a jpeg file now it is working fine. The creater(Dragon) for the websigte originally use a png file without problems. I am not sure why I was having a problem. As far as I can tell the jpeg seems like an ok solution.

Ya, IE and PNGs dont get along well. Especially when it comes to transparencies..

IE still hasn't adapted the PNG stnadards. to make it work properly with PNG you need to make sure you use sanctioned websafe colors. Thats IE sanctioned web safe colors. MS has their own set of rules that they want everyone else to follow.

anyway, the way I got it to work was by doing a little blending on teh edge of the PNG file. that way when IE changed the file color code, it still blended with the logo.
