Summary:
1 - For printing use the ICC profile for the printer and soft proof to that
2 - For web use sRGB and proof to monitor to account for those that do not use a color managed browser. Alternatively use the "save for web" option in Photoshop making sure "convert to sRGB" is checked.
3 - Use a calibrated monitor

nice summary..I would only add to point 2: " Or alternatively use the "save for web" option in Photoshop making sure "convert to sRGB" is checked" |

Added, although if you edit in a different color space and convert to sRGB at this point your saved version will look different, but at least it will be consistent in everyone's browser. |

The sky color in the top one is kind of purple-like.
The bottom one definitely looks more natural, but maybe a bit oversaturated.
Pretty picture! |
i would agree with this.

That doesn't happen to me (I do all of my edits in Adobe RGB) if at the time of saving for web I check both "ICC profile" and "convert to sRGB". I have compared the saved-for-web/uploaded version to the edited version, in IE and Safari, and they looked identical to my eyes when observed on the same monitor I used for editing, or on any other calibrated monitor.

Varies with the rendering and color management of various browsers.
Nearly identical in Safari 4.0.5, Firefox 3.6.3. A little less identical in Chrome 5.0.375.38 beta, but no purple tone in sky.
Purple-ish sky in top image in Camino 2.0.2, which is NOT a color managed browser.

Correct. Sorry for any ambiguity.

Just calibrated my monitor last night with my Spyder....they look the same to me.
Edit: My daughter says top one seems a tiny bit "purpleish"

I use Google Chrome for almost everything on the web (except those websites that won't work with it). SHOULD I be seeing a change in color between the two photos? If not how do I change it so that I am seeing the proper colors?
When I look at these on Firefox they are identical (like everyone else says).
I'm confused. |

If they look the same, everything is copacetic; it means your browser is using "color management" and making the necessary adjustments. If they look different, it means your browser only correctly displays sRGB images, and this can be problematical. I don't know what the procedure is for enabling (or disabling, for that matter) color management in GChrome, but whatever it is, you have it on now and that's good.

| As Robert posted, if they look the same, your browser is managing color correctly. From a user perspective, keeping color management on is probably the right way to go. From the web content developer's perspective (the person creating and uploading photos) it is strongly preferable to use the sRGB space, since there are a lot of folks using non-color-managed browsers, and if you use color spaces other than sRGB the images *will* display incorrectly in those browsers. |
