Colour loss

How can I get the colours in my art to stay the same as on my computer screen? Feels like gs compresses the images somehow and causes a loss of colour. All images are from illustrator at 72 dpi

    ?? That should not be, although with complex (across large areas) gradients you might find some banding but really if you export 24bit images from illustrator they will not be radically different.
    Check that you are working in RGB mode in illustrator - not CMYK.

    24bit images are very high in colour quality so it may be a setting in illustrator. GS does not compress images. You compress images before you import them in. DPI is irrelevant for screen quality (72 is fine) but the image size should be double its size if you are importing it into a Resolution Independent project.
    Eg. If you need a (landscape) background image for GS make sure it is 960x640 and when it is places in GS it will shrink to the standard stage size of 480x320 (it will effectively double the resolution required for Retina screens).
