Color differences in Affinity vs. Website vs. Microsoft Word


Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone can shed some light on why the same color look so different in Affinity vs other places such as our organization's website or in Microsoft Word. The color in Affinity has the exact same RGB value, but looks significantly different. Is there a way to make it look the same? Or at least close to similar? What's the best way to reconcile this?

 

I created a logo earlier using the rgb color values from our website, but it looks so drastically different I am not able to use it yet.

 

I've attached photos of the green color we are using.  The first is from Affinity, the second is from our website and the third is from Microsoft Word.

 

*****EDIT*******

 

I think I figured it out. My color profile was set to "Created by Microsoft WCS..." I switched to sRGB and everything matches up correctly now. I still don't know what the created by Microsoft WCS options mean, so if someone want to explain that to me I would greatly appreciate it!
