nickb Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I am trying to design some assets for mobile devices, where the best practice is to use the 'Monitor Colour - Display' colour profile, which as I understand it is equivalent to turning off colour management. When I assign a RGB colour directly to a shape (using the sliders in the colour picker), the same colour is displayed incorrectly (and indeed differently) in several parts of the UI. When the shape is exported (again with display profile) and opened in Photoshop, it does actually match the RGB values previously used. I have verified the colour values using Apple's digital colour meter app. This is in the latest released version of the app. Colour format is RGB/8 and the profile is 'Display' I have attached an image which shows a rectangle shape, which is different from the colour displayed in the colour well, which is different from the colour in the layer thumbnail. All three colours are incorrect (see the RGB slider values in the image). Am I missing something, or is this a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted December 11, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think all of these issues have been resolved now - keep an eye out for a new beta update (due some time very soon) which will hopefully sort out these issues for you :) Sorry about this in the meantime... :( Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 No problem, thanks for the quick feedback. I'm really enjoying using Affinity Designer, and once the colour space issues are sorted, I can make it part of my workflow. This is an impressive piece of software for a very reasonable price (let's hope this pricing model catches on with the rest of the industry).

nickb Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Unfortunately, the latest beta doesn't fix this for me. In 'Display" colour profile. For a colour entered directly into the colour picker (by value) R:11 G:197 B:229 The colour chips (circle in the colour picker and rectangular in the fill colour) are R:12 G:197 B:229 (which to be fair is only 1 out on one of the values) but the object on the screen (again, using Apple's digital colour meter) is... R:44 G:197 B:232 Which is not the same colour at all. I have attached a very simple test file Incorrect Colours.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted December 12, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2014 If I set my OS display profile to be sRGB then all values match - we've simply set the display's profile incorrectly and we can fix this easily for the next beta. Thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the inconvenience this causes you in the interim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
