Washed out colors after export in XD

The export function still doesn't do a good job and washes out my color. Only fix I found was to put my play mode window full screen and take a screenshot on my mac holding cmd + shift + 4. This way the colors looked close to my intention and stakeholders were happy.

Hey, Mateus

Changing your monitor settings will not correct the issue of lack of colour management for 2 reasons:
1. Not all clients or public viewing your design will be viewing in sRGB, so your design may be seen differently by different people with different devices.
(Sticking with the smaller sRGB gamut will reduce variability by designing for the smallest gamut viewers are likely to be using, though this is not the same as having a color-managed environment at both input- and output- end).

2. Files without colour profiles are interpreted differently by different software, so your design may be seen differently by different people depending on what software they're using to view your design.

Changing your monitor settings may make it seem like the issue is solved for you.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that's what your client is going to see.
(It's like the joke about the dog who plays hide and seek and thinks you can't see him if he covers his eyes with his paws.)
So setting your monitor to sRGB (assuming your display will even do that — not all do) is really just a stop gap, not a solution, and comes with its own problems.

We routinely have clients reporting that prototype designs are too saturated or undersaturated, depending on their viewing device and software — even when the designs are correct for web.
So we're back to the situation of print in the 1990s where we design for the lowest common denominator (sRGB) and have to check out the designs on different output devices (different displays using different browsers) before we send to the client.

Device-independent colour at the input end (in XD) would partially but not completely solve the issue. It would at least send a file that will be correctly interpreted by software that's competent enough to read a color profile. We'll still have the output end problem until browser/software developers and display manufacturers decide to get it together and do for screen what ICC did for print.

I honestly don't think there's any motivation to do that any time soon.

XD is not colour managed. (It should be using sRGB throughout.)

But is your monitor configured to display sRGB correctly in the first place...?

Did you try exporting for different uses?

I'm wondering if XD treats Design and Web exports differently with an assumption one needs to be a smaller file size.
I tried some quick shapes on my system and couldn't see any great differences between the XD, design and web colours.
