Here is what Smugmug said---no real change from last I checked with
them a couple years ago:
"Hi Mike,
Thanks for contacting SmugMug. At this time, sRGB is still the only
colorspace that most browsers can accurately reproduce (and some don't
even technically reproduce sRGB correctly). You will never get a single
image to display the same way across all browsers, as different
browsers handle colorspace differently (so don't even bother trying).
Most browsers are not aware of other color profiles and cannot
accurately display images in other color profiles other than sRGB. This
is one reason why SmugMug converts Adobe RGB files to sRGB. Another
reason is because when prints are made, sRGB most closely matches the
gamut of color that is possible to reproduce. Technically, Adobe RGB
has "more" colors, but since your browser can't accurately reproduce
them, and traditional photographic prints can't really reproduce those
either, sRGB is best for displaying online and for printing.
SmugMug won't likely change this, until browsers become colorspace
aware, and can accurately reproduce colors of Adobe RGB or other
colorspace files.
I hope this helps, but please let us know if there's anything else we
can do to help. Thank you, and have a great day!
Josh"
I trust Moose's evaluaiton over them, but not much one can do if uses
Smugmug for some images.
