Difference in color between the Document view and in the right sidebar (v1.10.6).

[norbre]

Hi All, I have some problems with basic color management 🙂
I have a Dell U2413 monitor, what was color calibrated yesterday. The created profile have set in Windows Colour Management window. The Gamut of the monitor is around Adobe Rgb.
The color settings are default in Affinity, shown on the last image.
I've made a sample sRGB image, filled with red color (#FF0000).
The strange thing is that, in Affinity there is a difference in color between the Document view and the red color in the right sidebar.
What do I wrong?

Your ICC profile for monitor in OS is wrong - it is not sRGB. Try set to default (delete your ICC profile), or set document to AdobeRGB.

Hi, how do you mean the profile is wrong? In the OS settings I've set the hardver measured ICM profile, not sRGB.

That Dell is your second display?

Hi, yes it is secondary display.

Thank you for the link, but I know it and read it already three times

I set the calibrated icm profile for the display as the article said.

This video talk about similar things about display color profile and Affinity settings.:

What's the first display color space wise set to?

As all looks usually Ok setup so far in your screenshots, it might be due to some APh multi-monitor usage problem here then. I would check how things look when just the Dell or the first monitor is used as an main (one) monitor in contrast to that, aka trying to narrow down the problem.

The other display is my Lenovo laptop's screen, it has some sRGB ICC profile.

I assume you used app in a flow over (enhanced drag over, aka from notebook to external monitor) screens mode here (?). - What happens when the notebook display is closed, so only the Dell monitor is physical used? - You have to try out the screen combinations here, in order to see if it is probably a specific dual screen usage (main sRGB, secondary AdobeRGB color space) problem, or instead a more general problem.

Later I will try your suggestion.

This is well-known behavior within Affinity apps, cannot tell if just on Windows (and probably "as designed"

Thank you, this was the root of the problem: the primary display was not the Dell monitor, but the laptop.
After I made the Dell to primary display, everything went well.
Thank you all for trying help.
