Photoshop not showing colors correctly?
I've been using photoshop CS5 on my mac for months with no problems, now all of a sudden I design a website in photoshop, save it and the colours are noticeably different. I can even see the difference when i click 'save for web' and look at the preview.
The colors are much brighter than what I can see inside photoshop.
What color mode should I be using when I start a new project, and could there be any other issues that are causing this to happen?
any help would be appreciated, thanks!

If you're producing for web content, you should be working in RGB; in CMYK if you're outputting for a print project (brochure, newsletter, etc.).
There are several things that affect how your work appears after it's published, particularly color profiles for your own monitor and the media/device you might be designing for.. These links should help you understand better, and though they're for earler CS versions, color management and profiles are one area that hasn't changed in Photoshop. Adobe's just made it easier.

Don't forget to go to View > Proof Setup and set your color mode there. Most use Monitor RGB.
