Question

Why is color picker not accurate?

On the left is the color I picked and the right is the color that came out when using the brush tool. there’s no active adjustment layers, no effects on the brush, no new settings. Nothing. Just colors becoming more saturated every time I color pick. While using the brush its accurate but as soon as I move my pen off the screen it becomes saturated.

    I don’t know why this issue persists - it may be a color picker bug. I’ll report it internally.

    Yes, Adobe Animate. I believe I’m on the latest version.
