Funny you should mention this.  I'm having a similar problem.  I created an 
image in PSP.  White background with orange text.  I used 255,102,0 to set 
my color.  Then I used the same numbers to set the color in the html file, 
and the colors are very obviously different.  The text in the image is darker.

I also had the same problem as you with a background color in an image not 
matching the background color on the page when both colors have been 
specified exactly the same.  I simply made my image transparent and that 
took care of the problem.

It still doesn't explain it though.

Btw, I'm using Netscape 4.7.
