So where I'm working they've setup all the online designers macs to run off the same color profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
However when the PSD is sliced up and exported the colours look different - usually a lot more saturated than they do in PS. Can anyone explain what we're doing wrong as it's causing problems between the designers and the developers. Help!

I also had this issue- the Hex colors in photoshop didn't seem to match the hex colors being output by the browser with sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
The easiest thing to do is just un-assign the color profile.
(Go to to Edit > Assign Profile, then "Don't Color Manage this Document' )This may or may not be the 'right' thing to do, but the colors seem to match for me anyway.

Thanks, I just tried that and it works.

you can also fix this by choosing "convert document color to the working space" if the image you are working with has a different color profile than your workspace.

Yep had a major problem with this. If you export the same file as JPG and PNG and compare, the differ in saturation.
JPG can hold colour profile information, PNG not. Also, some browsers will ignore colour profiles, some will use them. It makes web graphics look different on Mac/PC and Browser type.
The way I got around this was to follow this article/tutorial and get rid of all colour profiling when creating web graphics:

But he problem you run into then (which I've had in the past) is then (without colour profiles set up) you get colour shift when you go into Flash, which has a native sRGB colour profile (which you can't change).I'd love to get to the bottom of this, it's deeply frustrating.

With flash, do you always import PNG?
Does this help?

how about working in adobe and just go srgb when you export final assets in save for web optimizer

yep, if you do that, then your graphics aren't going to look good in all OS and browsers...
