GIF should be avoided for "overall accurate rendering". However if you
want to match a logo and a CSS colour so that one bleeds cleanly into
another, then use a pallette-based image format like GIF or PNG,
definitely not JPG. JPG offers lots of colours with good shading, but
it's lossy compression so they're all a little approximate. If it's a
question of matching solid colour blocks of one shade, then JPG is a bad
choice.
