hi so i have this weird thing with the colors that for some reason when drawing with certain colors the colors that are shown with the color picker are different than what they should be.
im pretty sure the problem isnt with the color picker since the colors never feel like they should come out to me, but im unsure of this.
im pretty sure it started when i switched to CMYK mode for an artwork, but i doesnt go away no matter what mode i put krita on.
Put it back on 8-bit and try it.
Image > Properties > Image color space - Depth 8-bit (that’s the default)

i did it and it didnt solve the problem, but i figured out that for some reason this bug only happends in certain layers (i have no idea what layers), and also that this can happend
Which version of krita are you using and which operating system?
I don’t see that happening after various attempts to induce it.
Does it do that with RGB/A 8-bit integer colour space?
Can you select the Colour Picker tool from the Toolbox and then post a screenshot of the Tool Options docker?
Also, can you show a screenshot of the Advanced Colour Selector settings?
You get these by clicking the icon at the top-left corner of the docker, under the lock icon.
This is were the artistic design for a program starts to fall apart.
Best choice you got here is not the advanced colour selector but the especific colour selector. You need to see numbers. Make sure it is in the same space as the document.
Select a colour paint and then read the values. If they miss match krita is missbehaving.
Also do this in a clean document it seems your always doing this with a mask on top somewhere. If you apply colour but then colour pick from a transformed colour of the canvas of course it will shift.
Why you create new documents with new masks to test this is beyond me.
thank you for trying to help me, though eventually i figured out that this problem only happends in layers i created before changing to an 8bit depth (even if i copy and paste them), and every new layer seems to work fine.
It’s possible for a layer to use a different colour space from the rest of the image and from other layers.
You can check that by selecting a layer in the Layers docker then doing
Layer → Convert → Convert Layer Colour Space.
The resulting window titlebar will tell you its current colour space.

But following Sooz advice the whole document would be in the same colour space and no left overs would be present.
