Hex colors display differently between Chrome and Safari on Mac

Viewed 2846

Is it possible for a hexadecimal color value to be displayed differently between browsers? While working on a site, I kept noticing a difference in a red that I was using when previewing between Chrome and Safari.

  • Chrome: Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
  • Safari: Version 10.1.1 (12603.2.4)
  • MacOS Sierra: Version 10.12.5 (16F73)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Color Test</title>
 <style type="text/css">
body {
 height: 200px;
 background-color: #ff3324;
} 
 </style>

</head>
<body>


</body>
</html>

What's wrong?
