Hi!


I have a Dell UP2716D calibrated monitor, color profile 6500K.

OS Windows 10.


In Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator sRGB and Adobe RGB work correctly.


In the browser, Chrome Figma also works correctly and shows sRGB.

But in a desktop application, color management does not work.


I turn on sRGB or Unmaneget in the settings, but there is no effect.


The option to enable SRGB on the monitor is not suitable. Enhanced color gamut needed.


When Figma starts supporting sRGB in a desktop Figma on Windows 10?

If you know that this is not possible at the moment, I think it would be better if you change the topic to more of a suggestion to the Figma team and change the category to #product-ideas. This way people will be able to vote for your suggestion if they have the same issue so Figma team will see it and hopefully improve this behavior in the future.


Try running Figma Desktop with the --force-color-profile=srgb flag. Maybe it will help.

Add this flag to your Figma shortcut.


Example:

"C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Figma\Figma.exe" --force-color-profile=srgb


Unfortunately did not help (((


Have you tried Figma Beta?


If you are sure that the sRGB color space does not work in desktop applications, then contact technical support.


I opened 7 tickets, asked colleagues to report the problem, but unfortunately technical support has been ignoring the problem for over a year))


And the documentation seems to be lying about " Windows 8 or later in a 64-bit environment". Maybe at least fix the documentation, if not the program?


Unfortunetly, I have the same issues with colors management - it does not work on PCs.


Yes, this is definitely a bug. I’ve looked into it myself and I have to say that they got it wrong. sRGB/unmanaged are swapped on Windows. Color management is generally a very complex subject and modern IT software companies don’t have the know-how to set it up correctly. It’s not just a problem with Figma, but with all trendy modern tools. Interesting that it doesn’t work for you at all. How does it work for you today in the latest versions?


Having the same issue


Still having the same issue in 2024. I have an ICC profile installed in windows. Importing an sRGB image into a workspace in Figma looks very different when opened in Photoshop (correct presentation of the image).


On macOS I have the same ICC profile on the same monitor and it does not have the issue showing the image consistently throughout Figma and PS.


I believe this is a Windows OS Figma version issue and how windows colour management works.

It’s been a while since this post is posted so I might be unaware of a workaround / a correct configuration?



I can confirm this bug is still appearing on the windows desktop client.


Above is the Browser, displaying as ‘sRGB’ and below is the desktop client, the same file, same frame and also apparently ‘sRGB’ colour profile
