Colors are wrong?

[jenn_marlowe]

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?

Maybe you have RGB in a CMYK document?

OH! THANK YOU. That fixed it.

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.

I wouldn't feel too bad about not knowing it, no one understands colours. Including those who claim to

This makes me feel so much better 😆 as it was, I was feeling really dumb trying to learn the software.
