Hello there,

I updated to new photoshop version and when I choose a color from the color book it is showing me the wrong color in the picker. Deleted the color book and reinstalled it many times but still, the colors are not getting picked up right.

Please help on what should I do to fix the issue.

Thank you

Numbers are relative to color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB etc) - i.e. numbers from one color space will yield a different color in another color space.

If a color space is not specified, the assumption is most likely sRGB.

First open the Color Picker and hold down the Alt or Option key. The Cancel button should change to Reset. Click on Reset and see if it works now.

I tried doing it. It works for the picker but not when I want to choose the color from the color book libraries ex: Pantone FHI color book.

Do you know any other way for it?

Thank you for your time.

Do you use the Pantone Color  Manager to install the FHI books? They do not come with Photoshop.

When you do, are you exporting the books from PCM as sRGB or LAB?
