the way i feel about this and other color problems we as designers suffer is.. So what.
the print designers have it hardest. I'll suggest for them what we did. That was match one monitor against one printer for proofing against a pantone chart then went about our day. Matching web values to print pieces is so hard it's impossible over the general population.
our audience buys the cheapest biggest monitors they can find and we work with a range from overpriced to underpowered monitors that can be set to any number of defaults and countless user settings. I keep one monitor of mine as dark as possible with the contrast up for coding without too much eye strain over time, how do you think the web looks on that?
Until you realize that people acclimate themselves to their environments accordingly and color itself is a very subjective matter, just do your best to make sure your hex, jpg, and png values match within your own projects first.
- some truth to this. The end users arent going to break out swatch books.baseline_shift
