@Callum I just noticed you said to tag you, which I didn't do in my reply last week. Sorry. But anyone, the problem is not specific to this document or computer. It's always been an issue. Thanks.

Hello! This was just the latest example. Anytime I've ever tried to use a color code of any kind, the color is always off. I hoped a new computer would fix the issue, but it hasn't. Thank you.

Hello, Whenever I look up a color's code and enter it the color is never the right color -- it's always lighter, as far as I can remember. I've actually had this issue for the year or so I've used Affinity Designer. But I have a new computer and thought that might make a difference, but no. I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvm9tXiKP4g&ab_channel=DetourShirts and that reminded me to check this issue on my new computer, a MacBook Pro Max running macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1. I checked AD for updates, and it says I'm up to date -- AD v. 1.10.4. RGB code. You can see that I've entered the same values but with a different result. Same for HEX, CMYK and even the PANTONE color. RGB HEX CMYK PANTONE COLOR I searched in Swatches for Pantone Formula Guide Solid Coated V4 (as done in the video) and the correct color appears below, but when I click on it the color is lighter, as in all the other examples above. When I use the color picker it gives me a completely different code. Here's one example: When I installed AD on my new computer I didn't change the default. (I don't understand any of what it means, anyway.) If anyone can reply, please do so in simple language; I know nothing technical about color spaces, etc., lol. Thank you!

Actually, I just noticed the PDF is not perfect - part of my image exported with stray areas of color that do not appear in the document before exporting. It's an embedded image and looks fine onscreen.

I'm having the same issue. Exported design as PDF and it looks perfect. But after uploading to Amazon KDP, the image on Amazon shows faint lines.
