Question

How to copy an object from XD to Illustrator and preserve its color?

I created a new file in XD 57 and set its profile to sRGB.

In that file I created a square with its RGB code being #006EC2.

 

In Illustrator, I created a document and set its color profile to SRGB IEC61966-2.1

Now when I copy that square from XD to illustrator, the box in Illustrator has a code of #1E6EB7.

The target colour is very different from XD, which can be seen on XD and Illustrator side-to-side.

If in Illustrator I set the color manually to #006EC2, the result is even more different.

 

My question is simple:

How can I design something in XD and export assets to use in web desgin (sRGB profile)? I could not do it no matter what color profiles are used in XD.

Or, simply put, what is the "normal sRGB" analogue of "XD sRGB" colour #006EC2?

    The colour profile switch from "Unmanaged" to "sRGB" changes absolutely nothing.
