Regarding the change in color of the coat of arms posted, the original file may be a TIFF or a JPEG in CMYK mode (for press printing) instead of RGB. Macs don't have a problem with that, but PCs often invert the colors.
This didn't seem the place for a long discussion of printing specifics, but...
The original file is an EPS cmyk file. That's Encapsulated PostScript. EPS files are not usually visible in browsers, so a jpg seemed more appropriate. I'm assuming that one is rgb, but it could be cmyk.
RGB is generally used for camera files or when getting pictures printed at Costco or Walgreens. jpg files are compressed and thus easier to send over the internet or for saving.
CMYK files are for printing, as in Magazines and the like. The colors are Cyan Magenta & Yellow; the addition file is a black plate. In four color printing K is black most places.
EPS files are vector files and thus are scalable; jpg files are bitmapped and typically cannot be enlarged much. Type is also a vector file....
Too much information or too little?
