blackkitt Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 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!

Staff Callum Posted January 17, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi Blackitt, Welcome to the forums Does this occur with all files or just the one in your example? If its just that file please could you provide a copy of it so I can try this at my end? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

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.

blackkitt Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
