Correct colour display of Default.png on iPhone

Question

I'm using the Default.png method to create a splashscreen. I'm using the same file for my background and the Default.png (except default.png has the 20 pixel status bar at the top).

However, the iphone isn't displaying them in them the same. The Default.png is being displayed darker than the background, so it's painfully obvious when the app is loaded.

As a visual example of what I mean, please see below:

The image on left is the Default.png whereas the image on the right is when the app has loaded. The difference looks subtle here but when the whole image changes, it looks quite drastic.

Is this an issue with the colour-formatting of the pngs? Or is this an iOS feature whereby the Default.png appears slightly darker anyway?

It's probably not worth mentioning but I'm using Monotouch to develop my app, I doubt that would have anything to do with this.

Answer 1

Solved the problem. The designer sent me new versions of the backgrounds and the Default.png is now displaying the correct colour.

I have a feeling I had saved the previous version with a different colour profile to the background, hence why it was being displayed differently.
