Color of shape in Adobe Photoshop changes when used on site

I have made a curved shape to be used as a "rounded corner" on a section of a webpage. Background is white and the curved bit is #09b (0:153:187). However, when I use the url ( I called it corner.gif) in the CSS, the image, on the actual page, is a slightly different color: 44:154:181.

How should I have all the various color settings set up - for example, what should I have ticked in View/Proof Setup? I have been trying various things so that the color of the image in Photoshop is the same as when I put it on the page, with no success.

Thanks

All this is actually just "thinking aloud" but I'll throw it out there even though you may have tryed it all.

Try the full 6 digit hex value

When saving the gif, be sure you are using the "save for web" option.

Insure transperancy is off and the "matte" setting is blank. (had a crazy matte thing one time)

Its possible that the gif fotmat can't get to the color you want so its just getting close. Try .jpg

It was simple when I really got down to it. I tried all the things you suggested to no avail so went back to the beginning. I had set the color by filling in the values for the background and foreground and it looked OK. Just now I went looking for the Paint Bucket tool - well hidden it was but I found it eventually and used that on the image. I hadn't before. The color still looked just the same but after I had saved the image and placed the new one in the CSS the color on the page changed to the correct one.

I really need to study the tutorials and familiarise myself with all the tools I think.

Thanks for the reply!
