Make sure that you convert to the sRGB colorspace if you are working in another. Assigning a color space does not do the job...
That's right, only Mac's Safari browser is color space aware. Others are not color managed, so an image with an embedded profile like aRGB1998 will not look right.
Incidentally, you may want to consider avoiding the Photoshop "save for web" function, if that's what you're using. The reason is that it strips file info such as copyright. If that's a concern for you, you might want to set up an action or two to convert color space to sRGB, automate "fit image" to the pixel size you want, and simply save a jpeg at a medium low quality like 6.

I post some people pictures on www.modelmayhem.com, and I always used RGB(1998). I have Safari, and everything looked fine. I heard about how Safari makes it look good, so I opened up Netscape, went to my page, and everything looked dull with a muddy purplish hue. I now use sRGB for anything going to the web.

Safari respects color profiles thats why they look good ,, soon Firefox 3 will be color managed ,,, rule of thumb is for printing Adobe1998 and everything else is sRGB but I will apply a profile that suits the tonality of the particular image for printing ,, it pays to get familar with Photoshops great soft Proofing tools , when editing for print work its really helpful to print what you see on screen also for switching profiles and to see what they will look like printed , color management is such an important component of graphics .

Not quite true. Firefox 3 (in final beta test) IS colorspace aware now and even the dullards at MS are adding it to IE (but don't hold your breath).. Opera is reportedly going to offer it too if they haven't already...
