I am creating a website in Dreamweaver, and creating my graphics in Photoshop/Illustrator (I just dont like Fireworks)... I am having trouble with getting the colors to co-incide with one another.
I take the CMYK code for the color I am using on the website and then I will try to create a background in Photoshop with the same color. But when I enter the CMYK code in Photoshop, it comes out with a totally different color. I even tried to import the graphic in to Dreamweaver, and it really doesn't even match up... Is there a setting that needs to be changed in either of these programs? Has anyone else out there had this problem? Help!

Thanks for the info about CMYK... Please note though that I did switch to RGB and had the same results (just with a darker color). I also tried using the same color # as the one I am using in Dreamweaver (e.g. #C5711A) and that did not correspond either... Any other suggestions???

You should be using an RGB colorspace. CMYK is used only for print and will never translate accurately to RGB. Do all your colors, both in photoshop and dreamweaver in RGB and that should solve your problem.

In addition to the above, which is correct, you should also be aware of any embedded profiles of colors as well as accounting for the differences in monitor settings of anyone using the site. This is nearly impossible, but the least you can do is make sure your are consistent throughout. Use the hex codes at all times. Those are the standard for web graphics, even if some monitors don't show up well.

CMYK = Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK: this is colour subtraction, reserved for the PRINTING industry. (the more colour you add, the LESS light you have. All colours = black)
RGB = Red, Green, Blue: this is colour addition, reserved for DISPLAYS. (the more colour you add, the whiter you get!)
Change your setting for RGB.
(And get rid ASAP of Dreamweaver and start coding properly: you will never become a web designer with it)
