what color profile does XD work with? because i work with standard sRGB (IEC61966-2.1) and i got an EIZO monitor, so i see exactly what i get. but pictures in sRGB in photoshop looks different than in XD. XD has much more red in it. this alos happens in the preview.

The team informed me that the difference is because Photoshop uses color correction/color spaces, and XD uses raw device colors..

For more info, see Color Management (set color profiles) – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs

Thanks,

The problem is that XD is not even consistent with how it exports graphics.

Exports some assets as a png, and then again as a jpg... There is a definitive color shift, and I see no way to change that in any settings. That seems ridiculous.

Look at the difference in how the orange color displays in these 2 example images, depending on the location.

I found a solution that works for me using Photoshop:

You can try exporting with Convert to sRGB and Embed Color Profile in File > Export > Export As (PNG)

You can also open the image with Windows and then make a Copy, the colors are now as seen not washed out.

Even I have the same issue. Imported Images i.e. JPEG, PNG colors are drastically changed. If I want to use the color picker on the same image it is taking the wrong code compared to photoshop.

Please solve it as soon as possible.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. XD uses SRGB throughout so for the best experience, I'd recommend setting the SRGB as the monitor profile. Having said that this happens since XD is yet not color-managed. I'll pass on your feedback with the Engineering team and I'd also request you to please upvote this UserVoice request: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/17480899-color-managed-application

This is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases.

Regards

Rishabh

I'm trying to reopen discussion in another forum thread related to this topic. It was marked as "Solved" but I don't think the issue is actually solved yet. Check it out here:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/washed-out-colors-after-export-in-xd/m-p/11361483?page=1#M35123

Essentially, there seems to be a discrepency between the colors represented within the XD software and the way they are represented once they are exported or shared online.
