: Why are my colours outputting so differently in Illustrator Despite trying various colour profiles across Illustrator and CS5 I seem to keep running into save for web, export and screen-grabs

Do you save as a PNG? If your color inconsistency is solely in a browser it may be due to gamma correction. You could try and compress your PNG and remove all colourspace information from your PNG. You can read more about The Sad Story of PNG Gamma “Correction”

You might need to redo the "color management" on your computer. I ran into this a couple years ago at work, I could save a small picture to the desktop and open it, take a screen shot of it and paste it into photoshop and the colors would be different!! I don't work there anymore so I don't have the exact settings, but I remember where I changed the settings.

Right-click your desktop then select "Screen Resolution". Click "Advanced Settings", then select the "Color Management" tab and hit the "Color Management…" button. Make sure your display device is the one selected in the drop-down and go to the "Advanced" tab. There are a few different options with how your computer will try to display certain media types. You will have to play with it to decide which works best for your monitor/computer set up.
