The original preview for my GIF has a white background with logos sliding through. When i try to save to the web and make it into a GIF the optimized version turns from white into an off-white blueish color. How can i get the GIF to export white instead of blue?
This is the original version that I want my GIF to look like once its exported...
This is the color my GIF is exporting as...
PLEASE HELP!
How many colors are listed in the palette? Is white in there?
I actually do know why this happens and how to fix it. It's because it's reading the brightest color as your blue an not white.
Step one.....On the export, sort the color table by luminosity
You will see that the brightest color is your blue or whatever tint you were getting. Double click that color and change it to #ffffff to white
The tint has now turned to white and you can export.......

Did you try the "Convert to sRGB" option as well as the Preview options? If this is going to be shown on the Internet, sRGB would be your best bet.

Yes i have tried that! I have also been on the phone with Adobe all morning. They do not know the issue either. I'm getting extremely frustrated.

Do you want to post a link to the original document? Maybe I (we, by extension) could take a look.

In the drop down when saving for web choose "Selective" instead of "Perceptual". Worked for me

this sounds amazing, BUT, when I change the color nothing happens on the screen it just created a new color that's divided in 2 pieces.

Thanks for this perfect workaround! Oddly, the issue only happened when I exported at actual size. But does not when I export at 50% (I needed same file for client for 2 different uses). Weird!

same thing was happening to me - when changing image to a smaller size, it was fine. So, I saved the color table at the smaller size and then when saving for the larger size, I loaded that same table and it fixed it. I dont know why this is happening though.
