Check out the "Trending" pointer image.

Apparently, in Chrome, comparing both the OS X and Windows version, the image ends up mismatching even when it has the exact same HEX as the css itself.

You can check it out for yourself at http://illingspree.com if you have both OS X & Windows to compare.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

This, its just how the two OS's render colour

The Mac uses a complex colourspace system called ColorSync to ensure colours appear identical on different devices. As a result, colours may sometimes be shifted slightly in the RGB space so that they appear to the eye identical on properly calibrated displays, printers, etc.

You'll probably have to use CSS to target OSX and find the correct colour codes to make your site display correctly.

[Mr.XXIV]

But why does it display normally on all the other browsers?

[primexx]

not all browsers use colour profiles for the same stuff (or at all)

You can probably get your monitors colour profile and load it into windows and see how it looks. I doubt it will be the same though. I noticed that myself that colours tend to appear worn out on the iphone as well.

[Mr.XXIV]

The iPhone and the browsers on Windows are fine. On OS X, only Opera wasn't affected.

I changed my color profiles back to the original and there was still no effect.

Mate,

[Mr.XXIV]

Looks the same for me in OSX Chrome as your Windows screenie

If I bend my laptops monitor, I'll notice the color difference in your image, it's still happening.

Use 2 different monitors use the same browser and the color will be different.

One way to fix this is by using CSS3 to make the pointer shape instead of using an image, though this won't be properly supported in older browsers.

http://www.css3shapes.com/ has several examples on shapes you can create with CSS3

I don't even know why I called it a pointer.
