Ok so I before I start please don't tell me to use phtoshop for this thanks 🙂
So my issue is RGB's displaying correctly both in indesign and once exported to jpg or png.
They work fine if I export to Interactive PDF in RGB mode, so I am curretly exporting to .pdf and saving as a jpg in Photoshop which is annoying and an extra step.
See images the colour on the left is correct #4c11a1
Incorrect colour is #502e90
Interestingly when I open the colour swatch it tells me that the colour is 'out of Gamut' and if I click to correct it changes it to a very similar colour to #502e90, which is my theory of what it is doing.
I've tried changing the RGB profile, currently sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and nothing seems to make a difference.
Anyone know what the issue is and why the Interactive PDF is fine and how to fix the Export to jpg setting?

Hey Eric,
Thanks 🙂
My goal is to correctly export a web banner with the background RGB colour#4c11a1. It's their brand colour and they want to use it.
I realize the colour will change when saving or jpg, but this is a large difference, I'm used to a few numbers different. Did you see my attachment? The correct colour is: rgb(76, 17, 161) and the incorrect is: rgb(80, 46, 144).
That's a huge difference especially in the Green value, 17 > 46 !!!
I'm not sure what this means sorry...
My question is why does it work for Interactive PDF?
Thanks so much 🙂

Hey Eric,
So I just tested from illustrator, doc in RGB exporting using save 'Export for screens' jpg and png both worked fine.
Also to follow up I synced my settings in Bridge and no change 😞
I think in the future I'll just use illustrator.

Why not? What's the problem with Photoshop?

It just can't do what Indesign can do in terms of layout etc. So it's to hard to use for what I'm doing 🙂

I thought you want to include Photoshop in the workflow - ID -> PS -> image.

This is what I didn't want, an argument about what app to use. I have an issue with InDesign not photoshop 🙂
Please no more photoshop talk thanks 🙂
