Photography website colours faded out on Iphone & Ipad devices ?

Can someone tell me the settings I need to save my images at to stop them changing colour on devices like the iphone and Ipad ? My images look perfect on the internet using monitors but not so with a device........

most people will view my images from a smart phone so its very important they look right.

What setting should I be using ?

Is your screen calibrated?

Surely this is a case of either your iPhone/ipod screen or your monitor screen display settings are wrong.

Well you'll need to save them as sRGB.

It does sound strange though as generally if you were working in say adobe rgb things tend to appear with more contrast/darker on devices and not faded which may as mentioned above mean your monitor is not calibrated properly.

As above - Apple devices are pretty well calibrated from the factory so my money's on your monitor being out.

This is what I cant get my head around - If I view my images on my PC monitor on FB & Iphone the images are perfect , but say I go look on my iphone and look at my website only some of the images are incorrectly coloured if that makes sense ?

My monitor colour is calibrated and when I go to work and look again the colours are correct , it only looks wrong on my iPhone when looking on my website only not FB - So my guess is something with my website doesn't mix with my iPhone ?

I use Format witch is widely used by professionals so not sure what is up

Like I said if I look at my images on my iphone and look at facebook they are good , but if I go look at my website on my iPhone only some of the images are incorrectly coloured ?

For example If I view this http://www.jasonsturgess.co.uk/#e-2 on my Facebook page from my iphone it is good , and is also correct when viewing from my pc monitor , really nice bright colours but If i go to Google on my iPhone and when look on my website from my phone this image is really washed out.

I see what you mean, the couple look like ghosts on my iphone.

iOS uses sRGB so maybe export some images using that colour space and transfer them to your phone to see how they come out.

Thank you Janesy B you have sorted my problem out

I will go re-do all my images in sRGB now and upload to my website again
