Hi @mathilde36496304k19h , I assume if you have your Transparency Blend Space set to RGB you are designing for screen output? If that’s the case do you have your document’s assigned RGB profile set to sRGB (Edit>Assign Profiles..., not Color Settings)?
Also by color picker I assume you mean the picker inside of the Color Picker dialog and not the color picker in the Tools panel?
hello rob thank you for your answer!
i'm working for a screen output. my document is well assigned to a RGB profile.
Also, the color is the same to me in the color picker dialog panel as in the tool panel as you can see on the screenshot. You can also see that it is not the same color as my rectangle on my workspace. I don't understand why.
Have you tried deleting your Caches folder and if that doesn’t work resetting your Preferences. I can’t replicate here without applying some kind of transparency/opacity effect. What OS are you running, might be a monitor profile problem? Can you share your sample?
This is what I get for sRGB #ffba10
The color in your sample file is a linked PNG, I thought you were showing an InDesign rectangle with a native RGB fill. If I delete the PNG the Color panel matches the fill. Maybe the problem is with the linked PNG? Can you share that?:
oh i'm so sorry rob I made a mistake, here is the right file :
here is also the same file with the preview on mac, and when i open it on photoshop where it is the true colors
When you export your PDF make sure the Export>Output>Destination is sRGB, and you include the profile. When I do that I get a match between ID Acrobat, and Preview:
One thing to note about the Color Picker (not the Color panel) interface—it uses your Monitor Profile and not the document RGB profile for the UI display. To get an exact match between the Color Picker UI and a document RGB color you would have to assign your Monitor profile as the document RGB profile. The other UI color panels—Color and Swatches—are color managed and provide accurate previews.
I did what you said and when I export my PDF the color is a little bit better than the preview on indesign.
When you say : "To get an exact match between the Color Picker UI and a document RGB color you would have to assign your Monitor profile as the document RGB profile." How can you fix this?
Also, here is an exemple of my color which is #ffcf35, R : 255, G : 207, B: 53
You can see where i circled is the right color. But on my page it is not the same color. Is it a setting problem on my Indesign?
Also, here is a screen of my indesign document, my PDF, and the document open on photoshop (where it is the right color)
When you open the PDF in Photoshop, make sure you also set the Mode: to sRGB in the Import PDF dialog (not RGB Color)
That should give you a matching RGB profile assignemnt and color values in Photoshop:
There‘s not much you can do about the Color Picker interface color accuracy—it displays as monitor RGB and not in the document’s assigned RGB profile. You can really see the problem when a large gamut RGB profile like ProPhoto is assigned to the document:
I could assign my system monitor profile to the document and get an exact match in the UI and then export to sRGB, but that would change the exported RGB/hex values if that matters:
thank you so much for your time rob,
what is so funny is that the contrary situation happens on my indesign :
when i change the assign profile to ProPhoto RGB, my colors finally match on color picker and my page. and on your screen, it doesn't match with this same profile. this is so weird! here are the screens :
Hi @Rishabh_Tiwari, I’ve attached a CC2024 file that demonstrates the Color Picker problem. The inaccurate Color Picker preview is more noticeable when a large gamut RGB profile is assigned to the document—I’ve assigned ProPhoto RGB to the document so that it is easier to see the differences. If the selected object’s fill color is Lab, the Color, Swatches, and Color Picker panel previews all match the fill color, but if the selected fill is either RGB or CMYK the Color Picker preview does not match:
Here my selection’s fill is Lab Color Mode and the Color, Swatches, and Color Picker panel previews all match the fill:
If the fill color mode is either RGB or CMYK, the Color and Swatches panel previews match, but the Color Picker preview does not—and depending on the RGB profile assignment and the saturation of the color, it can be quite far off:
Oui la référence couleur est la bonne puisque je souhaite obtenir #ffcf35
Voici un screen de la couleur que je souhaite, j'ai entouré en rouge tous les endroits où la couleur s'affiche de la bonne manière, càd sur tous les previews, sauf sur ma page Indesign.
Ai-je mal réglé un de mes paramètres ?
Egalement, un autre screen du fichier ouvert sur Indesign, en PDF où la couleur est légèrement plus vive, et sur Photoshop où la couleur apparaît comme il faut.
