I don't think you grok what's happening. Some middle manager sees a shade of red on his screen in a PDF, and the dev is expected to reproduce the content in that shade of red. There are simply too many variables.
Even if you have access to the PDF, the red will often be rendered differently by the browser than it is by the PDF engine.
I've had middle managers tell me to "fix" a web site because the colors looked different on his office CRT than it did on the laptop screen of a person in another building.
trivial to fix
Everything is trivial when someone else has to fix it.
