What laptop were you working with prior and what laptop did you pick up afterwards? I see you have what should be Dodger Blue's color code #26a1ff. What happens when you use #0000f0 in it's place?

To add, one of your images looks like you took it with your cell phone while the other is a screenshot courtesy of within the OS GUI, those are two different representations.

It's worth mentioning that not all laptops come with the same display and as such, they'll be calibrated differently.
