Background color: # 070707; different in Photoshop than in the browser

I am coding a website with

background color: # 070707;

This color should be a very dark gray, just as I see it in Photoshop. Now when I run this in my browser (the background color is set on the body using CSS so this is not an exported image) the color is darker than in Photoshop.

I know there may be differences when exporting images due to color profiling, but when setting up the color code, how can this be different from photoshop?

Thank you for help

Photoshop can display colors using its built-in color matching / validation engine, while the browser probably doesn't use it.



Try to set the Photoshop color settings correctly (CTRL + SHIFT + K) and change the validation settings (View> Proof Setup) to match your normal monitor settings.

I guess it depends on what color model you are using in Photoshop:

  • RGB
  • CMYK
  • LAB


Here's a good tutorial on the exact uses and differences of each:

Could you define it in Photoshop as something other than a hex number? IIRC, there is Hue / Sat / something that can also give a 6 digit output. Don't you view it on different monitors or something?

not dark gray. It's almost black. Are you sure the color palette in Photoshop does not include alpha. Try the "Select Copy Color As HTML" option in the color palette.
