The stretchability and how you construct a web based product makes it  
even more vital that the prototype is pixel perfect. Otherwise, your  
making design decisions where you might not be properly taking that  
into account.

Yes. It does matter.

Color is not superficial. If color is part of your end product, the  
prototype needs to use whatever color you intend to use for real.
