Washed out colors after export in XD

To solve this problem, firstly I save the images for the web in Photoshop (Shift + Option + Command + S) and then replace them in the XD file. These should now export with original colours.

Finally, the export colors are not washed out - they represent the color values of the colors.
However, the colors in the XD itself are over-saturated, so we have to constantly export images to get idea what color we've choosen.
I'm on a 16" Mac M1, MacOS Ventura 12.2, latest XD with no plugins.

I got the same problem, and i agree with all the comment saying that Adobe team is disrespectfull towards its users. 

YOU are supposed to be the leader and YOU do beginners mistakes. 
So please invest in making your customers HAPPY. 
BEFORE i was advising XD, NOW i'm like "it's a fine product not a perfect one" 
SO MOVE YOU FXXING DEV TEAM ! 

This is getting ridiculous since its not just exports that have different colors. The HEX colors appear different, too. It's impossible to choose colors in XD. Designers have to first use Illustrator or some other tool to select colors since XD will not accurately display them. It's a terrible workflow and I wish, years later, this would be fixed.

I am experiencing this issue now and never have before in the past and have worked on many XD projects. I even went to a web-safe colors website to verify the color I was trying to use is websafe and find the closest color and it displays perfectly fine on that website... Yet in the XD link and exported files the color looks dull and flat and totally kills my design. This is pretty unacceptable especially if it's something that's been happening for years. And Adobe reps giving the same canned answers. PLEASE fix this!

Solved. 🙂

Works 100%

The problem is in proper setup color management in your web browser

This guide will explain you how to do it. I've changed my Chrome browser color to HDR10 and it worked perfectly.

Have a great day 🙂

Please fix this. I love adobe XD and it is so frustrating that I can't use my assets after designing them. I believe people would be ready to pay a bit extra per month if this issue got fixed.

It has been too much time. If you do not intend to fix it, at least tell us so that we can look for other alternatives because this isn't sustainable anymore.

JUST FIX IT.

I've been searching for an answer to this issue all day and finally figured it out. I think. 

Because XD doesn't have color modes I found that within XD, it displays colors to be more saturated than they actually are. 

I had a specific HEX color code from an online document and was copy/pasting the fill color into elements in XD and also in Illustrator. XD displayed the color much more saturated and I couldn't figure out why. I was thinking this was an issue with XD and distorting the colors through the export process, but actually the color was correct based on the HEX code and it was just displaying much more saturated in XD. 

I exported the asset from XD and compared the color side by side with the online document and found that they were exactly the same color, even though XD displayed the color as much more saturated in my working file. 

Definitely need this fixed within XD, but in the meantime I've been picking colors and pulling color codes in Illustrato, and copy/pasting the color code into XD. Not ideal considering you can't see the actual color but for export purposes it works just fine. 

It's just another massive issue that Adobe cannot be bothered to fix. I have just experienced the same problem. High end UI design exported to J-Peg colours are washed out, it's appalling and changing your monitor settings will not make a blind bit of difference. I'm glad I cancelled my subscription. It is appalling and not the only issue with their bloated memory hogging software.
