Ian,

There is a setting in the maker.ini file that will also affect you
your colour output is generated (and subsequent appearance).

Look for the "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK" in the [Preferences] section
of your maker.ini file.

It can have one of the following values:

=Printing&Screen (behaves more like FM5.1)
=None (FM5.5 behaviour)
=Printing (default setting)
=Screen

You may want to play with these to see if you get something more like
you were expecting.

Regarding the "darkness" variation on different computers, the
individual monitor Brightness & Contrast settings probably have the
most to do with this.

You really can't do much with colour management unless you get
everybody that is going to view & print your PDFs to set things up
exactly the same way that you have. It's best to leave
device-dependent colour management out of PDF files.
