Old version of Browser and color problems

We have been notified by a couple of people that their website (of course built on modx) shows weird colors when viewed in older versions of Internet Explorer (IE).
I understand that browsers should be updated, so you don’t need to convince me.
My question is: Is there a way to make the website, so the colors look right regardless of the version of IE? The people that reported this to me are worried that their visitors will not know that their own old version of browser if causing the discoloration of their website.

I don’t think its possible. Its the OS and the browser probably. May be they are at very low resolution eg. 256 color.

MODx has nothing to do with colors of website.

But see if someone else chimes in and post any thoughts on this.

All the best.

The only other thing could be if you’re using .png images for backgrounds; older versions of IE don’t do well with .png files.

Older versions of IE do not work with graphic files that levels of alpha transparency in them. PNG-24 files for instance. IE6 will render the background of these graphics as an ugly blue/gray color.

One fix is to add some IE-PNG jquery to fix this. There are a number of options that use javascript. You might find this useful reading:
