background color changes in IE

I have in the last couple of days changed the appearance of my menu (http://peterwade.com).

I have set offbgcolor="#0090C2" and in Firefox this seems to render correctly. However in IE 8 it displays as a very much lighter blue. Other items on the home page in IE display in the same color as Firefox, so the problem seems to be specific to the menu.

Anyone seen this happen or know what I can do about it?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,

It's the overfilter. You have Alpha(opacity=50); which translates to 50% transparency which is making the offbgcolor you have listed 50% lighter :) Since that only works in IE you are not getting the color change in any other browser.
