Need help with color profile settings on screen


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to use colors from my website to design a print document in Affinity Designer. I've converted the hex color to CMYK but the result looks nothing like the original color on my AD screen. The color on my website is a red, but in AD it looks like a brownish orange. I've tried changing the color profile settings in Affinity Designer but I have no idea what I'm doing and nothing seems to make any difference. The computer I'm using is a macbook pro. Here are the codes:

 

Original hex from website: #cd5c5c

Converted to CMYK: 0 55 55 19

 

Can anyone please advise me how to correct this? I'm wary to send a document to a printer when I can't see the colors correctly.

 

Thank you.

Hello. Welcome to the forum.

 

I get these values:

I went into the colour palette, input at the bottom the hex code and clicked on « CMYK Sliders » in the dropdown menu. Are these the values you are looking for?
