Disable gamma when saving your PNG images.

Gamma is a feature that is *supposed* to account for the differences in
colours between different screens, but due to the stupidity of gamma
implementations in most browsers, it actually ends up as a hinderance.

That is, your PNG is *supposedly* being adjusted to account for your
screen's brightness and contrast (but how the hell is your browser
supposed to know how bright your screen is?!) whereas the surrounding CSS
background is not.
