Not Seeing True HTML Colors

I use an online service to create emails, and the true colors aren't showing up. The best example is color code #cccccc which should be a definite gray color, but when viewed on a pc running Vista, it looks blue. This appears to be a Vista issue, because on any computer running any other OS it looks fine.

This is not cool because when building my website or sending html emails, I don't see the real product. Any help?

Agreed. It is also one of the reasons why you should install the monitor driver (if available). This is not a driver per se, rather it is an information file which tells your system the capabilities of your monitor. Usually included with that is a colour profile which, if enabled, takes the colour data and modifies it according to the table within the profile so that colours are reproduced correctly on that particular monitor.

Thanks for the responses, but can that be the issue if EVERY Vista running pc has the same problem? I can send you examples of the email if you like.

Can you direct me to a link where I can find instructions to follow your advice anyway?
