Figma Color Space Not Respected

  1. Copy a bright PNG image from safari or Chrome.
  2. Try to paste it into Figma and watch the image become significantly duller

Use this image:

Paste it into Figma. Notice how it loses all the brilliants?

My color space is set correctly
The image I’m pasting in has the correct color space.

How can I fix this? It makes it impossible to work with web based images or duplicate something already created.

Any ideas?

Have you tried setting Color Space in Figma to Unmanaged?

That does seem to fix the copy and paste issue. But what happens when I go to export my design? It won’t match what is in the figma designed file :frowning:

I’ve long had this problem too. Switching the color space to Unmanaged does not fix it for me. The yellow should be #FFC100 and is instead #EFC354 in Figma.

Compare Preview vs Figma:

I also see that I get different results depending on if I have my MacBook Pro plugged into my external monitor or not. The color doesn’t match in either case but is a tiny bit closer when not plugged into the monitor.

I’m driving crazy for months having the same issue here. This is a big deal breaker when working with visual design references. Would appreciate a solution to this (MacOS Monterey M1 with an external monitor).

I also encountered the same problem. It was really uncomfortable. The png of the local file was dragged into the figma, and the overall color became gray and changed. Adjusting to sRGB is useless. I hope to solve it quickly.

And still nothing has changed… No explanation. How so?.. :no_mouth:

same issue

Common @Figma_Support this bug is real and it’s annoying. ‘Colormanagement off’ results in correct colors in the browser (with a reference .png pasted in the workfile). But… but… it results in overly bright coloring in the figma file. Really really core value for design software.

Having the same issue. I have one color in Figma and another color when I export it
