In Linux I have different color for the same thing than in Windows

The colors on Windows are much less saturated. Why is that? The fonts are much more crisper. I have installed msfonts on Ubuntu, and it's better, but still the Windows fonts are different. Check the screenshot I have done from both systems in the same browser. The colors are much more saturated in all browsers on Linux. Here is the difference: And here is the detail (notice the yellow and green instead of green on Linux): The font on Windows is more crisp and easier to read. The Xubuntu fonts no matter if I use Droid, DeJaVu, Ubuntu etc. is painful for my eyes. Why do I have different colors for the same things in Windows and Linux? I have tried Chrome and Firefox in both Linux (Xubuntu) and Windows and Windows versions have the colors less saturated and darker so it's more pleasant to read. Also, the fonts are not so bold, and they are much easier to read than on Linux. I have noticed the same color issue in Ubuntu's Unity too. If you have a little time and can do a screenshot, please, upload a portion of a Google results search (like mine) so I (and others) can see if you have different colors or the same colors as me. Thank you. ### Update As I have found out [[here]](http://blog.codinghorror.com/whats-wrong-with-apples-font-rendering/) and [[here]](http://blog.codinghorror.com/font-rendering-respecting-the-pixel-grid/) the problem I am facing is probably the missing font smoothing technique called ClearType by Microsoft on Linux/Apple machines. Linux/Apple use a different approach when rendering fonts. Microsoft use ClearType technology and others use some other antialiasing technology. In short, smaller fonts looks less blurry on Windows and are harder to read on Linux/Mac. Which is useful while using a browser all the day. I simply cannot use a browser on Linux and Mac. My head starts aching, and the eyestrain is really bad, and my body tells my to go back to Windows.
