Hi,

When I run this, the blue isn't 0, 0, 255. It's 28, 64, 242. Does anyone know what's going on?

Is your Monitor made by Apple? That's a potential compatibility issue for RGB apparently.

What happens if you use a Hex value instead?

The color is full blue (255),
but even for me, Mac mini, all apps are displayed on the external monitor with color balance and shafts. Especially in "dark mode".
If you make a screenshot, the colors are correct again.

I'm using a MacBook Air. I get the same result if I use a Hex value.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 460, 400, "CanvasGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  CanvasGadget(0, 0, 0, 460, 400)
  StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
  Box(0, 0, 460, 400, RGB(0, 0, 255))
  Debug Hex(Point(10, 10))
  StopDrawing()
EndIf
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I made a video of what happens for me: https://imgur.com/jIRkCOG. PureBasic says it's blue, but the system color requester says it's a different shade of blue.

If I verify the colour in your video on my Windows 7 Screen, the result is RGB(034,052,235)

It's blue, but not Primary Blue, and not the same as verified on your Mac either. A conundrum.

Hi again

.... I think it could be the calibration of your screen. Turns out my my daughter has a similar issue on an MSI Windows 10 Laptop!

Try testing a range of colours - if it is the calibration, they should mostly all be a bit off.

Apple advice: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/m ... lp1109/mac

You can select "Generic RGB Profile" if you want to disable color correction. It will be pure blue then:
