When you have a comp in ps and then safe for web and you open it up in a browser the colours change, the have less saturation. Probably has something to do with color profiles but it's driving me nuts. Anybody knows a workaround for this issue?

Ddoes using web safe color fix this or is that just the standard for designing for the web?

"We're going to essentially turn off all this profile nonsense by changing the top drop-down to Monitor Color."
That's the biggest non-sense i've read in a while. Your monitor color profile isn't a RGB working space.
This article is mostly about ignoring real Color Management i.m.o.

A Warning
What we're doing here won't make your colors look the same on all monitors or machines. Macs will display lighter (by default, at least), and monitors themselves will experience crazy color shifts based on age and settings. Reassure yourself: This is not your fault. The key is to calibrate your monitor as close to the center as possible, use Proof Colors (we'll get to that) to make sure details aren't getting blown out on other platforms, and be prepared to gently explain to clients why your green looks like aqua on their friend's 1992 Trinitron.

the monitor color profile is still not a working color space.
the monitor color space is only a output color space, the result of calibrating your monitor.

Not all browsers can read colour profiles, Iv stopped converting to sRGB in my save for web prefs...
