If you use something like Adobe RGB or another larger space as your default
RGB working space in Photoshop and then display those images directly on the
web without a conversion, they'll usually look like the colors have lost
saturation. Web display is a best guess situation and that usually means
sRGB. Just convert your images to sRGB before saving for the web
(Image>Adjust>Convert to Profile). I really wish that Photoshop's save for
web function did this automatically as an option. Mac versions of Internet
Explorer are about the only browsers that I know of that are capable of
recognizing an embedded profile and most probably don't have that feature
enabled. I'd recommend not putting embedded profiles into images destined
for web display. Yes they're tiny, but in a page full of images they add up
and are significant to someone on a slow connection; and they are of very
little use at best.
