Hex Colors look different in Painter

Hi all,
I have a clean install of the latest version of Painter.
All I did was set the color management to OpenColorIO and import a mesh with baked maps.
I then applied a fill layer and used a hex code to set a specific color.
As you can see in the image, the colors don’t match.
The hex code from the website, which should be correct as far as I know, appears significantly different in Painter—both in the Fill Properties and on the mesh itself.
Ignore the second fill layer, it has no effect in this example.
So, why is this happening? What could be causing this behavior, and how do I fix it?
