It could be down to a number of things: quality of the screen, gamma / 
brightness / colour settings on the screen or on the graphics card, 
"colour temperature" setting, etc. etc.

Basically, no, there is no easy or fool-proof method to reproducing 
colour consistently. It's unlikely to be down to purely the colour depth 
or something, because very very few machines are limited in that way any 
more.

It comes down to the issue that very few monitors are calibrated for 
colour properly, and most are indeed "way out".

Sorry!

Alex.
