However the important thing there is that you have your systems colour managed and they work. Since the browsers are not ICC aware as I thought was likely the case, then the image is not being mapped (by the video card) to the monitor profile when you are using the browser. It is out of the colour managed control. The images should still be the right temperature and brightness because you've physically adjusted the monitors' controls in the calibration process, but the colour reproduction may not be the same? On your clients' computers the same image would most likely be too bright and too cool at a default setting but you have no control there, of course. My thoughts anyway.

Color compliant programs look great on it. Everything matches. Prints from pro-lab also come looking great. I am previewing sRGB Jpegs on non ICC aware browsers on my own machine. That is when the images go flewy and look ruddy skinned. I check out my web posted images at other computers from time to time and they also look ruddy. My guess is it is a combination of poor representation of images by non-ICC browsers and non-calibrated monitors. But I can't understand why the images would look bad on my system which >should< be in sRGB space. Thats why I like B&W!
