raeha Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGueurle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hello. Welcome to the forum. I get these values: http://images58.fotki.com/v132/photos/5/2952655/12412563/cap-vi.png 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?

raeha Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 MacGueurle, Thank you for responding to my post! The color you have looks like the color I'm looking for. Can you tell me how you opened a box titled Color Chooser? Is that a different version of Affinity Designer? Mine is 1.3.2.

MacGueurle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yep, I simply double-clicked here: http://images57.fotki.com/v139/photos/5/2952655/12412563/cap2-vi.png and it opens the « Color Chooser » window.

MacGueurle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 No problem! Glad I can help! I'm just getting used to the applications myself, this was about the only question in the forums I can answer :lol: Quote Affinity Designer 1.6 Affinity Photo 1.6.6 Canon EOS 50D iMac 27" 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 32 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
