Thanks for exploration, Clayton!

An update to Firefox 3.6.12 doesn't change anything - in fact I can see 
three different colors on the three last lines in my wiki sandbox: 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:BeDipp#personal_sandbox

I'm quite sure that I created all of them in Inkscape - perhaps 
different versions? Can't remember.

There are Ubuntu bug reports on wrong colors in Firefox. Even if I 
didn't find an exactly matching bug, I think that this behavior is more 
a Firefox/Mozilla and Ubuntu problem than ours. Might be related with 
embedded sRGB profiles...

Of course it is serious from a  branding point of view if our official 
color is shown with wrong values in the most important browser on a 
relevant platform.

If I'm really the only one having those problems (Firefox and Ubuntu 
10.10 shouldn't be used that seldom), I can live very well with them.

Best regards

Bernhard
