Change the Rendering Intent to Relative Colourimetric and create a new document, with a colour profile setting of CMYK/8, Euroscale v2. Then draw again a white square. Yes, for a start the rendering intent is already set to Relative Colourmetris (I tried the others too). The document is set to CMYK/8 and I have never had Euroscale v2 in my colour profiles.

I am not opening existing images, I'm creating a blank document (in any colour space) and drawing a 'white' square. This square comes out yellow (as seen in my screenshots). That has generally proven to be a sign that the monitors are assigned the wrong color profiles in your Windows display setup. However, it would also be a good idea to debug this with only a single-monitor hooked up.

I can fix the canvas colour by going to Document > Assign ICC Profile. But UI is still messed up. I tried changing colour profiles in system settings. No luck. All my other apps work just fine.

Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi Zecr, Have you followed the instructions listed here? Can you attach a screenshot of the Color Management window for us to check how it's set up please? Go to Start menu, search for Color Management to display it. Thanks.

Zecr Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 That does fix the issue, but I would prefer to use the other colour profiles as they do make a noticeable difference in the colour quality. Is there some way to have the Affinity UI use a manually selected colour profile since the canvas is fixed when assigning the ICC profile.

Zecr Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Found a workaround. Go to Windows colour options, set sRGB 2.1 to default, launch Affinity Photo, switch back to the profile that you want to use. Only problem is that I have to do this every time I relaunch Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyshnav Ajithan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I had the same issue, Go to Edit - Preferences - Performance - *Renderer Switch it to WARP then Affinity will be restarted, again do the same process and switch *Renderer back to Graphics card Mostly this will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsat12 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hi, I have the same problem since yesterday, when I updated to 1.9. I did not change any settings on my PC, but now I don't have any white color in APhoto, everything is yellow. I tried the suggestions abovereb but nothing changes this situation, I have no white color at all. Furthermore, I uninstalled and reinstalled AP but no change, Can anybody from affinity check this and serve a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screenshot even says it's yellow so it's not just a display thing on your end. Then the extra weird thing, the preview is bright white as it should be.

thisGuyNamedM Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I had the same problem. Found a fix and made a video about it: https://youtu.be/gwGhWkJI-38 Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic.Frog Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm using Windows 10 on a desk top PC. I recently installed Affinity Publisher and also got the dreaded yellow tinge. What surprised me, was that I'd had the same problem a few years ago when I installed Adobe CS 5.5 (disk version). I resolved that at the time, and it was still OK after installing Publisher. So it does look as if Affinity treats colour management differently to other software developers. I like the post "Skalex" made above back in August 2019, but "thisGuyNamedM"'s video link immediately about is easier, and it worked for me. Easier because you don't need to delete anything. Instead you're adding an additional profile, and the original ("yellow tinge") prolife stays in place just in case you need to revert.

DianeGronas Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I followed thisGuyNamedM directions on the video he made and it worked! Open Windows System file > Control Panels > Color Management > Devices - Display (check box - my settings for this device) ADD... button > sRGB IEC91966-2.1 > SET AS DEFAULT PROFILE button > CLOSE button. Reopen Affinity and the whites are now white instead of tinted yellow. Thanks to all who commented here! 🙂 and it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artaius Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hey guys, I encountered the same problem. I think someone described the same fix, that I applied, but I'm not sure. I actually just assigned a new colourprofile in the WINDOWS colourmanagement. I made a screenshot. Windows somehow assigned this profile to my monitor: VX3276-FHD sRGB 6500K I clicked the button above "use own profiles for this system" (translated from german, might be slightly different). You have to click the checkbox first, then you can go down below and click "ADD" ... then you can chose the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile. It works perfectly fine for me.Mind you the screenshot is from a german windows system.🙂 mykee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After few troubleshooting sessions, windows has started again as supposed. When starting any affinity program, I had the same 'yellow' issue. When setting both monitors as suggested in previous post, IT WORKS AGAIN! WHITE IS WHITE AGAIN. Thank you. Thank you very much, Vojko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzone3d Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I followed all of those colour profiles steps both in software and windows colour management.... It didn't work, and then I removed my GPU drivers reverting back to original, then ran the AMD auto install tool and all is good!!! So for me at least, its a combination of colour profiles and GPU Drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
