Not the main red bars, but the ones below it.....that seperates each sub sections.....

Should it be light pink, or more of an grapefruit with a just touch of orange color?
Anyone have a properly calibrated monitor that can answer this?

Do you guys have calibrated monitors?

I should clarify, they are both pinkish......one is just a darker slightly more orgish pink....not a light pink....

show us a screen shot of the bars you're talking about, and we'll tell you what colour they are.

I don't think a screenshot would do any good, it will look the same color to you as you see it now. :)

No but if you point out what you are talking about, it will make it easier then guessing what.

He's talking about the pink bar that says "View First Unread". Maybe take a picture with a digital camera instead of a screenshot.

It doesn't matter what monitors they are since you can change the settings on them. I use ATI Catalyst...

Thanks for the links.

I noticed that with the pics I took, the first monitor shows both pics as the same, the second monitor shows both shades differently, as they really were. Thus one would guess the second monitor is probably showing the most accurate color.

I would contend that it does.....it seems like the second monitor (which is a dell 2005fpw) has more vibrant and accurate color. But I wanted to be sure it was in fact showing the shades of color that was intended. The first monitor is a benq T903, which is a 6 bit panel, something you can't compesate for with ati catalyst. The dell also has a higher contrast ratio.
