"Color shift after export in Photoshop (values like 22, 12, 14 changing)"

[Motie-1]

I was working on a poster design in Photoshop and ran into a little issue. When I export the file, the colors (especially darker tones) look slightly different compared to what I see inside Photoshop. For example, a shade with values like R:22, G:12, B:14 comes out looking closer to R:21, G:24, B:20 once exported.

Is there a way to keep the colors consistent between Photoshop and the exported version? Am I missing something in the color settings or profiles?

Sometimes those number values (like 21 or 24) can shift because of how Photoshop handles rendering vs. export. Another thing worth checking is your layer effects or blending modes — they don’t always translate the same way when flattened. If you’re working with text, rasterizing before export can also help keep the look consistent.

What is the original colour profile?

What is the exported colour profile?

What is the exported file format?
