Color picker and browsers/apps that do color management / profiling

[patrickhlauke]

Some browsers (Chrome on Windows, Chrome and Safari on macOS) color-manage CSS values, so what they display is subtly different (depending on monitor / color profile) from the values defined in CSS.

Am I right in thinking there's likely no way to work around this?

Yes It's a problem I can't resolve easely for now..
I suppose robotjs (the dependency I use to get color from picker) isn't 100% accurate in somes cases.
I will update my fork to the latest version of robotjs and I'll check if I can make a thing for this.
But yeah for now we have no way to work around this.

I may be getting a little ahead of myself, but I'm testing Go, and there is "robotGo" which also allows you to pick up some colors.
So maybe I'll do a Go implementation to get the colors back. To see if this will solve the problem, although I do not think so.

Otherwise I updated my RobotJS repo, I haven't tested it yet if it had changed anything. From what I saw in the changes I got back, it doesn't change anything.

I come with some news @patrickhlauke.
I've tested with the latest update of robotjs on windows (firefox, chrome, edge) and I don't have any problem to get the good color. I haven't tested on macOS for now
