Color online? How can I improve this?

[mdhurt2]

I have recently started marketing my photography skills as a business to bring in some extra money.
I have a page on Facebook that people can fan to get my name out there. The models and people who have been using my pictures are posting them to facebook and to the fan page, but the quality just isn't there color wise.
The photos look fine on other websites, but when loaded on to Facebook, the color quality is horrible. The pictures are too dark and have a green tint.
I haven't noticed this with small snap pics I have taken with a pocket camera and then loaded on to the facebook site. Just with my SLR photography photos.
I really want to find some way for the photos I give to my clients to load on facebook are good color wise, because I don't want people to see them and think "Color sucks.... Photog sucks." So is there a photo size or something I can do in photoshop to create a special for facebook file so my photos look good on that site?
So far, the only thing I have been doing for photos loaded on to the web is changing the height and width to under 1600X1200 pixels.

Check what color space you are exporting your jpegs in, make sure it's sRGB...

They are on 8-bit RBG.... Should I increase the bit to 16? Would that help? I don't see the sRGB option. (I'm using Photoshop CS4)

Doesn't help.

To save space, Facebook compresses the colour space to their own profile. It means the images are quick to load and dont kill server racks, but it also means that your images look muddy, grey, washed out or just boring.

The system tends to compress the highlight and shadow information, so pure white will often become a light grey (~10%, sometimes more) and blacks turn into dark greys (~90%, sometimes less).

Nothing you can get around as long as youre uploading to FB, sadly.

FB can be a great tool to use to get free and widespread exposure but like mentioned, doesnt do the best job at representing your work 100% the way you intended. I think we always tend to be more critical of our own work but you have to think of it as the colors are not the only part of your photo's that make them stand out to people and to the general public they may not notice the glaring things that stand out to us. if the work is good, it will still stand out to people and if anything just open the door for people to approach you, which at that point you can show them the work on your own site or portfolio that you feel more comfortable showing them.
good luck~!
