CRT Color Calibration

I am working on a website, and I just found out some of my colors are off.

The bottom of the page with the lorem Ipsum is supposed to be a light blue color. When viewed on a Mac, I noticed it was a very light blue and was hard to see clearly. Some friends say it looks fine, some say they can barely see it. The colors were worse before... I used to see the grey bar at the top of the image as light blue. I adjusted them with the nvidia driver, but I can't seem to get it perfect.

I'm wondering if there's any free or cheap way to calibrate the monitor. I went through some gamma/brightness calibrations on google, but can't find anything for color. I did a search here and read about Spyder Pantone for $100, but if there's a cheaper way I'd like to save some cash :)

 
It's a catch 22.... Your monitor might be calibrated already, might not be... but what about everyone else's? What good is it to have your calibrated to some standard when all the people surfing the site don't use the same calibration?

I can see the bar.
 
Well I know mine is off. The colors are different than the other monitor's I have used. The greyish backgrounds on these forums appear to have some blue in them for example.

 
I'm going to try printing the site (or maybe just different shades of colors) with a quality color printer tomorrow when I have access to it. I'll try to adjust colors by comparing it to my monitor.
