As long
as it is grey, no-CM vs. CM means really only a slightly different
shade of grey (assuming the monitor is calibrated well enough that any
RGB triplet with R=G=B produces a neutral grey).

And what if it's color, e.g. RGB?

Then things will certainly look different on different monitors. Particularly with large-gamut monitors this can become an issue:

(scroll down to downsides, third & fourth paragraph)


Hmmumh? I, personally, would not mind too much if Windows machine had a
distinctive look compared to Mac's. But, among Window machines or Mac's, of
course we would all want to have a uniform appearance. Coudn't this easily
be done by assuming sRGB? If it's that important?

Could be done and probably will be done at some point (OS X 10.7 ?). I think dimension-less UI scaling (or what is called?) is first on the list of developers. Problem is that probably third-party application developers have to contribute their part as well.


I personally feel all color objects displayed in a web page should use sRGB.
I don't see how otherwise it could be done?

Firefox 3 will be able to do so (except for the plugins, eg, Flash), but it is disabled by default because of performance issues and the plugin problem. Apple tried it out in internal builds of Safari as well (assuming sRGB for all CSS content) but did not ship it because of performance reasons.


Hopefully at some point the performance issues will become small enough...
