This short 3-minute video, by RC Concepcion, demonstrates that saving images for the web using the standard accepted method of saving as sRGB  @72 ppi does not display the same colours when viewed in different browsers. Using Safari, Chrome and Firefox the image displays with significantly different colours.

Using the same image he optimises for the web using the AdobeRGB colour space. Although he does the colour space changing in Safari it can be done in the File>Save for Web within Photoshop. When the AdobeRGB was displayed in the three browsers the colours were much more closely matched.
