As it turns out the "web-safe" colors no longer are, that you can get color-shifts, and you may be running into this. There's a good article about this on webmonkey. The article mentions that Flash uses a "proprietary" plug-in to get/give color. They say this gives it advantages (versus using gifs) when putting graphics into background color, but they are talking about *within* a Flash movie and go on to note that the color-shift problem still exists.

and they show you the "really" safe colors at:

pretty funny .. as they say, hope you like green...

Don't know if this is actually your exact problem, but it is worth noting anyway....
