Safari (WebKit) color display doesn't match

I've noticed this quite a while ago and have usually been able to work around this, but it's irritating none the less:

The color display in Safari is significantly different from all other browsers not using WebKit, including Windows browsers I am running on VPC.

I don't know, but my guess is that WebKit is the only contestant using available color profile information.

Anyway, what it boils down to is that I can't match image colors with color values!
Like right now I have a horizontally repeated gradient background-image that is supposed to be "continued" by the box's background-color, which is matched with the gradient's end tone, in case the box's height exceeds that of the background-image.
This works perfectly in all browsers but Safari, where the gradients end tone just doesn't match with it's numerical value's rendering in the background color.

Very, very annoying!
And I just hate to think that this is probably, because the guys at Apple wanted to do things, once again, especially well.

But maybe (and hopefully) someone here knows a bulletproof explanation and way to avoid this problem?
(And Apple, after all, are the best, because they let us view photos in Safari exactly like they appear in Photoshop but also let us switch off this nifty mechanism for compatibility purposes?)

Cheers,
Sebastian
