HTML: font color=”red” becomes green

I'd like to ask everyone saying "I saw the quotes right away," what OS do you use? Perhaps your OS uses a different font.

I've had bugs in websites where menus would be completely messed up because they didn't fit in their given space, just because the font of choice was not available on Linux and it fell back on something slightly larger.

Edit: Though in the HN title it is much clearer than in the jsfiddle, for me anyway. Might that be it?

I'm using Chrome on OSX and the color value was highlighted red in the source, so I immediately looked at that.

Chrome on Windows and Linux, on HN and jsFiddle, the quotes were very obvious to me.
