This is reproducible on both my and my wife's mbp 5,5 13"ģ) menu, choose: Format->Fonts->Show ColorsĤ) Using RGB sliders, pick Red=50, Blue=0, Green=0 (DO NOT TYPE, USE THE SLIDERS)Ħ) chose RGB as Actual Value, 8-bit on Digital Color Meter.ħ) Hover over test patch on color picker dialog of textedit.Ĥ) Using the Color Palettes, choose "web safe colors".Ħ) chose RGB as Hex Value, 8-bit on DigitalColor Meterħ) Hover over the selection patches on the color picker dialog of textedit.įor a) the rgb sliders, DigitalColor Meter will report 71,7,8 (instead of 50,0,0)įor b) looking at color "CCCCCC" DigitalColor Meter reports D4,D4,D4 The color names do not match the values reported by DigitalColor Meter. However, the "web safe colors" Color Palette also has problems. On the RGB sliders, the picker can fix itself if you use the spyglass on the test color patch. Summary: The color picker dialog reports incorrect values on the RGB slider, using DigitalColor Meter as a reference. I've confirmed the color picker bug in 10.6.6. So I don't know if that means it's part of the OS, or what it is.

I mean, I think it clearly lies with the Color Picker, but that doesn't seem to be a thing that one can just download and replace. Is it considered okay to cross-post to another forum? I had a hard time picking which one to post in, since I don't know where the problem is.

My color calibration is set on standard and I wouldn't have a clue how to "improve" it anyway. But the problem isn't just that the colors LOOK wrong, the numbers ARE wrong, so I don't understand how trying to recalibrate would help. I don't understand why Photoshop Elements 4 doesn't show web-safe colors correctly though. I think my computer is displaying correctly the wrong colors that it picks, since I confirmed in Rapidweaver that the actual data is wrong in the CSS.
Maybe I should buy a new DiskWarrior, as we only have an ancient one.Īs for preferences and calibrating the display, everything looks fine to me except that the Color Picker picks wrong colors. I only have TechTool Deluxe, so I guess you're suggesting that that won't do the trick.

I should have been more specific I did run Disc Utility from my install CD and actually fixed quite a few things (long overdue maintenance!). Thanks, I didn't know about the ColorSync Utility and Profile First Aid. If none of the above works, suggest that you cross-post over in the It's possible, you never know unless you inquire. "Somebody suggested to me that it might be an OS X problem," Read & follow the instructions/details ofĪbout Profile First Aid: & do the necessary to Now in the bottom right corner, click on the Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled? My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.

If you have DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro *(not Deluxe)* run them _off the CD._ Install DVD and run *"Repair Disc"* from the "I ran Disc Utility and fixed whatever came up but it didn't help." Has anybody seen anything like this before? What should I do? Then again, I haven't noticed the problem in Graphic Converter either, which is just in OS 10.5.6. Somebody suggested to me that it might be an OS X problem, which is interesting, because as far as I know, I don't have the problem when using Inkscape (or trying out Gimp) in X11. I ran Disc Utility and fixed whatever came up but it didn't help. The Mac fix-it guys don't know what's going on either. I spent $50 already having my video card tested, so the hardware is supposedly fine. The Mac fix-it guys tell me that my Digital Color Meter is reading correctly. Or to be precise, a few of them are correct but most of them are not, when I check with the DigitalColor Meter. In Photoshop Elements 4, even web-safe colors aren't displayed correctly in the picker. They are in general much more red than what I am picking (15-20 units different), which explains why a lot of my bluish and yellowish colors are looking dull. When I looked in the CSS that is generated, I found out that the wrong numbers are being put into the code. The color is correct in the little color picker box in Rapidweaver, but is translated wrong to the website preview.
I thought they were two separate color pickers, but maybe they function on the same basis. This happens in two separate applications (Rapidweaver and Photoshop Elements 4), so I have no idea what is causing the problem. The colors displayed are frequently not the same as the colors I select in the color picker. I have been designing a couple of websites and logos, and having some very frustrating problems with colors.
