Hello Mark; I do very little raster work, and there are people that can give you advice that come to the forum. but Jpeg is a format that I don't use. Why not try "PNG"? But the reason for the post is to say that the white on the yellow would read better if you put a black out line around it.

I think color shift in the jpg export is probably due to color management settings. 

If you're running Vista or Win 7 try setting the default color management settings highlighted below.

Hope it helps

That type of file should NEVER be saved as a JPG. It will dull your colors, it will blur the text and it doesn’t allow transparency. It will probably also create a LARGER FILE than PNG.
 
Please read this post as it will explain in detail why JPG is bad.

Are you exporting in CMYK or RGB format? They will both work with colors differently, and this may be the difference you are seeing. Of course, what format you use depends on your end goal - RGB for web, or CMYK for print for instance....

Hi.

Maybe lessen the compression and smoothing?

I agree that this image is particularly suited for 8-bit PNG.

Goodness you sure got folks stirred up, didn't you? Stick out tongue

Jpegs can look just fine and there are times they're preferable to pngs. So use whichever works for your final application, and don't let yourself get dragged off on a tangent.

Did you resize the graphic when you exported it? The biggest problem I see with your jpg is it's fuzzy along with the color shift, which makes me ask the question. For optimal results the general method is to convert to the proper color space if necessary, resize to the final output size, then apply sharpening, and only then save as a jpg. That's true no matter what program you're using.

Some software lets you combine steps, like sharpening as you downsize, but the quality of automated solutions can vary. Software's good, but it's no mindreader - in the end you have to trust your eye to see if it's acceptable and tweak the controls if it isn't. For example, Adobe gives you more than one sharpening method, and you can really see the difference if you guess wrong.
