Lee,
Thanks for tips! I will implement this code from now on.
Still, how do the PC users who have a color profiled monitor see
it? Do they emulate sRGB by default?

There's the problem with PC browsers. They are not emulating
anything, the RGB values in the file are passed directly to the
screen. They'll ignore the tag, because they don't recognise it.
The standard Calibration that we use (6500K, Gamma 2.2) is the same
as the white point and gamma table inside sRGB, So It'll still work
on a calibrated monitor, if they use that target. Obviously is they
use a different target, then the colours will look different, but
there isn't anything you can do about it, apart from using the tag.

Hi,
The reason you're getting a colour shift on your monitor, is that
your monitor is not set up to emulate sRGB. So an image set up
for sRGB will not look right on a your monitor. However, as sRGB
is meant to describe an average monitor, it is still better to
use sRGB for web images, and not embed a profile.
To cater for Mac users who have colour management on (All Safari
Users, IE with colorsync checked) you can use the following code
<body iccprofile="sRGB.icc">
and load sRGB.icc onto your webserver.
