I've run into a color problem that should not be. I print out a scatter plot with various color baloons, one of which is a pure blue. I've printed it out in TIF, GIF and JPG. When I open any of these files in Adobe CS3 the blue baloons come out distinctly violet, not at all like the sapphire blue in dplot.
I thought the color codes were universal and interpreted the same anywhere. Is there something needing setting in CS3 or dplot to make the color coding compatible?
Actually the other colors look the same. They are cyan, pink, yellowish-green, and red.

Michael,
If you're saving as 8-bit I'd suggest trying 24-bit to see if that helps. OR - if for whatever reason saving as 8-bit is important to you, use the "slow" quantization method. Other than that... I have no idea. I don't have Adobe so can't test against that, but the color information is fairly straightforward when saving to 24-bits, and should definitely have the same appearance in any application. Perhaps there's an Adobe automatic color correction gizmo at play here?
