I have just noticed that some of the colours used on a website change dramatically using Safari version 6 under the new Mountain Lion. Some dark red elements display perfectly but others change to a much darker colour despite them all being set exactly the same.
The design is held together by a table with the edge graphics done using styles to repeat the graphics around the border.

Thanks at looking at this for me. At least the colour change you noticed, whilst unwelcome, was consistent.
It’s the apparent random nature of some graphics changing whilst other stay as they should be that make the site look a bit of a mess at the moment.
Thankfully at this stage the number of site visitors using Safari 6 and Mountain Lion should be relatively low. Hopefully someone at Softpress Towers will be able to come up with some kind of workaround for this.
All the best

the red colour on the true online site looks all the same, but oddly it’s all the darker red not the lighter red as your screenshots

Could this be a colour profile thing? Safari has long been able to make sense of any colour profile in your pictures, for example, sRGB or Adobe RGB, if included when you save them. Other browsers haven’t, and this has often led to pictures looking different in different browsers. Are you saving/using your pictures in Freeway with colour profiles embedded?
This looks a lot like a bug in Mountain Lion to me. Exactly the same image changes color depending on whether it’s repeating or not (non repeating is the right color, repeating is a darker color). I don’t think there’s going to be anything we can do in Freeway to get round this.
Out of interest: how have you created this? Is it a table you’ve set-up yourself or are you using the built-in graphic effects Action?
I use Adobe RGB for consistency across all applications. However the graphics on the site are saved as PNG files and as far as I’m aware Photoshop doesn’t let you save a colour profile with the graphic.
The odd part is, ignoring the corners, the edges are all made with the same repeating graphic. When the repeat length is long the colour seems prefect; when the repeat length is short the colour shifts to the darker shade. All very strange.

This was done with a table I created myself. I know it’s ‘old-fashioned’ but any time I try the inline method one change sends the layout haywire so I’m sticking with the tried-and-tested method for now at least.
I thought that must have been the case. the same thing happens with the graphic effect option in Freeway (which creates a similar structure). I think the is going to have to be fixed at Cupertino.
