I spent a lot of time on this, but I can't understand why it happens. I have only theories: something wrong with color profiles, or bad image structure, or something else - maybe special copyright measures?

Why is this happening?

A: 

There could be something wrong with the image. Open it in some image editor like GIMP and check if it gives some warnings. Try converting the image to some other format(png?) and see if the browsers render it correctly.

The color's been changed though, so you'd probably want to run it through Photoshop and edit the color balance to get the colors right.

Thank you. I heard about CMYK, but never imagined that it could cause the problems at the web-sites.
