Thank you very much for letting me know. I look forward to hearing from you.

100% cyan rendered by Designer 2.2 is visibly less saturated than the same color displayed in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign using the same color settings (FOGRA39 and the relative colorimetric rendering intent). How to reproduce the problem: 1) Open Designer and Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign on a wide-gamut display that covers 95-99% of the Adobe RGB color space. 2) In each app create a new CMYK document with the FOGRA39 color profile. 3) In each document create an object with a 100% cyan fill.

Thank you very much. That's certainly a good workaround, which would allow me to manually update the Pantone books.

@Patrick Connor Hello, Are you going to the add the 2023 Pantone colors? If so, when can I expect the update? I use Designer mainly to colorize my designs with Pantone's Formula Guide Solid: Coated + Uncoated colors. Today I upgraded to Designer 2.0, hoping that I would be able to manually add the new colors to the .CSV files (I have a Pantone Connect Premium subscription). Unfortunately, I can't do it without changing the ownership and permissions of the WindowsApps folder, which might resualt in a bricked system. Have a nice day, Jack

When are going to add the 2023 Pantone colors?

I work almost exclusively in the CMYK color space - since I design logos - so I'm actually well aware of it's limitations. Speaking of profiles, my laptop has a wide-gamut display - with a 95-96% coverage of the Adobe RGB color space and an average delta E of 0.6-0.8 - calibrated to D65 or 6500K, 80 cd/m2, a gamma value of 2.2 and a standard gamma curve, using an X-Rite i1 Display Pro Plus and Calibrite CC Profiler (formerly X-Rite i1 Profiler). In Designer, I use the US SWOP CMYK profile.

Wow, those colors are pretty inconsistent. 😮 I wonder how Illustrator and Photoshop would handle this? Would we get CMYK 0, 100, 100, 0 --> RGB 255, 0, 0 or some other value?

In Designer, I set the CMYK values to 0, 100, 100, 0 and then switched from CMYK to RGB in the Color tab. In other words, Designer interpretes C:0 M:100 Y:100 K:0 as R:204, G:34, B:40, which is in total disagreement with what I get using this converter: https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/pms/cmyk_to_rgb.php I simplys assumed that Designer correctly converted colors from CMYK to RGB and HEX.

I have an HP Envy X360 15,6" OLED and the latest version of Windows 10 Pro with all the latest stable updates, as well as the latest version of Designer. I have a problem with Designer displaying incorrect RGB values, which don'y agree with their corresponding CMYK values. For example, the red values used in the gradients in the attached file are: R: 204 G: 34 B: 40 C: 0 M: 100 Y: 100 K: 0 However, when I click on any red stop, I cat an incorrect RGB value of R: 219 G: 1 B: 0. I've tried reinstalling and resetting the app (I invoked the settings reset menu by holding Ctrl while starting the app), to no avail. oceanus_icons_export.afdesign
