Hi

I'm wondering a bit about an inconsistency between colours matching on a
web-site I'm working on.

As a demonstration I've created an ultra simple HTML page containing a .png
image.

The image is at the top right of the page. The body element of the page has
a background colour which should be the same but only seems to be on some
web-browsers.

The URL is:

<http://www.patrickjames.me.uk/colourtest.html>

Don't forget that in the UK we spell colour with a u. We do this because we
like being awkward.

The actual colour of the image and the background has the following
red/green/blue values:

rgb(0%, 25.1%, 50.2%)

Viewed with Safari and iCab the colours match perfectly and so the image
can not be seen. However viewed with FireFox and IE 7 the colour of the
image is lighter than that of the background. Viewed with IE 6 a white-ish
line appears around the .png.

So, my question is: how do I get the colours to match in all browsers?

Thank you :)
