jenn_marlowe Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hello, I am trying to use color #4168F7 and when I use it in Designer, it's completely wrong. In Publisher, however it is correct. I am attaching the color it should be versus how it is appearing in Designer. What is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Maybe you have RGB in a CMYK document? jenn_marlowe 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I am brand new to design work and a complete and utter novice. I didn't even realize this setting was a thing, since I was just loading a new document and kept whatever default settings it had... pretty much because I don't know what anything means lol... Thank you so so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
