Is Lotus Notes unable to display colors in HTML-mail precisely?

Currently I'm about to go crazy by trying to design a proper HTML-newsletter. Beside other problems I can't seem to get my desired background-color displayed correctly. I coded in #afbecd and it turns out as something like #b1b1d2. Is there any way to fix this? I'm using version 8.0.2

For any reasons the HTML attribute "bgcolor" does not work in Lotus/IBM notes, when you prepend a sharp (#) to the hex color. So bgcolor="#ff0066" does not work. But bgcolor="ff0066" does. Fortunately this notation also works in all other mail clients.

Update: You can also write bgcolor="#FF0066" but the letters must be written in uppercase then.

Have you tried the inline style with RGB color code. Its rgb(175,190,205) for your hex #afbecd.

Check the output code - did it remain as #afbecd?

If so, then it is an interpretation problem that you'd probably have to work around in Lotus notes. Try a slight variant of that color and see if you can get closer to what you want.

Lotus notes is only about 0.2% of most subscribe lists anyway, so unless you are sending to a special "Lotus Notes users" group, i'd suggest the "who cares" solution.
