Eye Dropper picking wrong color

Question

Hello! Some days ago i've found that my after effects eye dropper isn't working properly.
I know that it's an old issue, but is there any fix? I need to use ofter to pick colors, and the hex numbers wont match them, unless the color that I want to pick is inside my composition (on project thumbnail it keeps getting the wrong color, same at motion tools plugin that collect the color palette).

Hi,Not sure what's going on there but you may want to have a look at the settings in macOS. Would you like me to merge your post with the bug report? You can also upvote that bug report. Let me know. Sorry for the frustration. Thanks,Kevin i've just found that using sRGB mode on macos settings fixed for me. I was using dell color profiles.

Hi,I read your post. I believe this is a known issue. You can upvote this bug report: https://adobe.ly/4mzCd7p. In the meantime, there is a workaround: Switch to the system color picker (Preferences > General > Use system color picker), which often delivers correct color values, though it’s less seamless than AE’s native picker. I hope that will suffice until the team can address the issue. Sorry for the frustration. Thanks,Kevin
