You have a color management mismatch somewhere. Start by checking the Project Settings (Shift + Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + K)

Hex codes don't mean much. As Rick said already, you have some wrong settings somewhere. since you haven't provided any info about your CM settings we can't tell you more than that.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm attaching my project settings. I'm using ACEScg for my working color space because I'm bringing EXR renders in from C4D/Redshift. If I set my working color space to "None". The "Whites" are correct, but all of my renders are wrong. I need to be able to work in ACEScg with my renders and then also be able to comp in graphics with correct "whites".
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue - I'd love to hear about a solution. Did you solve this on your own @Gawron? If I find one myself, I'll let you know.

I am having similar issues regarding this. I have noticed that a project in ACES is fine at first (white equals white), then along the way whites become gray. I even havea case where seen two comps in the same ACES ae file act differntly, and they are using the same settings. See attachements.

So as a workaround we need to add an OCIO Color Space Transform either directly to a layer or an adjustment. Set the Input to Output - sRGB and set the Output to ACEScg.

Somone recently just replied to part of this thread & I just noticed your comment. Thanks for sharing this work-around, as it does work. What is crazy is that I didn't have to do this when ACES was 1st released. But eventually the comp would succumb to the problem of whites no longer being white, therefore requiring such a work-around as you suggest. Based on my workflow, not sure I can honestly justify using ACES until AE integrates a better way of integrating ACES. The whole color space arena is full of misunderstandings and perhaps I am a victim of not fully understanding the process myself. Anyway, thanks for the solution!

Hey folks,
i ran into the same issue. Here i found the solution:

Under: Effects/Color correction you find the OCIO Color Space Transform - Efferct, which imcalledandy
also mentioned. You use this on your rendered footage/passes only and then you turn the pulldown in the viewer to off.
Before it was for example ACES/sRGB or ACES/Rec.709 for example. This one is only for Preview. If it´s set to a different colorspace, the in After Effects created stuff like for example type, is shown in this colorspace and you can´t get it white. I´m not a native speaker, so i hope you understand what i mean.
Best regards,
Daniel

I'm also confused: New Solid: All the way up to do a white solid, (H:0/S:0/B:100) and then it's even called "light grey"
Why should I have now a color management mismatch?
The workaround with the FX does work nomore (for me?)
