Same RGB, different colors? Why is that? / Affinity Publisher

[iso68]

I wanted to have some text in grey. Buf in the same text block I get a very different shades of grey, even though both are RBG29,29,27 - why is that and how can I make them all the same shade of grey?

The Opacity settings seems to be different – look at the circle after the word Opacity – even though the Opacity slider is in the same place. I don’t know why this should be but it’s probably something to look into.

If you click the button that says "RGB Sliders" in the font colour controls (as shown in your screenshot) and pick "Tint", you will probably see that the tint percentage is less for the lighter text than it is for the darker text.

A lighter than expected colour inside that circle suggests that a colour has been given a tint percentage of less than 100.
