Sorry, but websafe colors have to shift in some monitors. Different

renderers may shift in different ways.


(Why must it shift? The websafe colors split the 256-value RGB channels

into six parts. But a 16-bit monitor has 5 bits for each color channel, or

32 possible values. Those 32 values can't display websafe colors

accurately. Different renderers can round these colors in different ways.)


This article has more info... even though it's about GIF and HTML colors,

the principles are the same:
