I've got a design file with default color profile 'unmanaged'
Where #949bff turns into #8097C1.

After changing it to 'sRGB'
Where #949bff also turns into #8097C1.

I also have a design file with default color profile 'sRGB' fromt the start.
Where #949bff also turns into #8097C1.

The normal export artboard to PDF works fine on both files. Why should this function differently?
So I can't really use the print option to share designs with a client...

PS: love your work!

Because you're exporting your Sketch file to print, the colors change from RGB to CMYK. Due to the nature of combining those 4 colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in ink, many bright and saturated colors are difficult or impossible to recreate.

Request or solution:

  • is there a way to control this colour transformation so we can adjust to a cmyk colour closest from Pantone or other print standard for plain inks as well.
  • Pantone is one standard inks provider to print but others exist, different like in Asia or other regions.

I was looking for an sRGB export option, too. As a temporary fix for myself, I've forked the repository and changed the code in such way, that the export is created within the sRGB color space.

Indeed, the plugin is converting colors to CMYK (it's a print export plugin, after all) so some color shifting is unavoidable.

We could consider adding an option to choose the target color space, so I'll tag this as a request and update the title.

An option to switch between both color spaces would be really helpful! I wanted to update my sRGB fork (cf. link above) with such an option, but I don't find the time for it in the near future.
