ive seen this question so many times when doing research on it but i can’t find anything that will work
my krita file has saturated colours that i want to show when exported (i also want them to show on other devices so changing the colour profile of my computer wont work)
how do i export with the same colours/colour profile as the krita file?
i have a macbook m1 air if that helps
Hello @emmysoap and welcome to the forum 
There could be various reasons why you’re seeing the effect that you report.
To help people to track this down, please provide information as follows:
Which version of krita are you using and where did you get it from?
Please upload a full screen screenshot of your krita window showing the artwork.
Which file format are you Exporting to? e.g, .png, .jpg, .gif …
What options are you using for the Export process?
A local window screenshot would be useful to show those.
Please upload the exported artwork file (must be less than 3MB file size).

its kind of hard to tell in the screenshot but it looks more saturated red
i unchecked everything on export + i tried force convert to srgb once and it didnt do anything
i tried exporting to jpeg and png and neither worked
There’s nothing ‘unusual’ that I can see in your full screen screenshot.
For .png, try enabling Embed sRGB profile and for .jpg try enabling Save ICC Profile to see if that makes any difference.
As well as displaying in a file viewer or browser, also try opening them in another digital painting application, if you have one.
This could be an unusual macOS colour profile problem that needs checking and adjustment of settings of which I have no knowledge.
I’ve edited the title of your topic slightly to attract the attention of people who know about this subject area. I hope they come along soon.
i dont know which version of krita im using i think its the most recent? got it from the website i think i dont really remember
i tried the export options you gave and neither of them worked
Do Help → About Krita. it will tell you which version it is.

Do the image exported from krita look correct in the browse. I am guessing your image viewer doesn;t have colour management.
no it looks the same
Does it look same in the browser as it looks in krita.
Can you check what colour profile you are using in the display section of the krita settings. Is it monitor profile or DCI P3
There was a thread about this issue of different colour here
May be we can ask @Soma how they solved this issue
not the one saved from krita to my computer no
i use both of these depending on what i wanted it to look like
im not sure which one is default for my computer
The lower one is Krita’s default. Unfortunately, I can not tell you more about these profiles, therefor you have to wait for a more knowledgeable user than me, that is not my matter. The only thing I believe to know, is that you should use the standard profile as long as your display is not calibrated to a specific/different colorspace, and you have that color-profile at hand.
Now, in order not to say anything else that is completely wrong, it is better if I keep my big mouth shut now and say nothing more on the subject.

Perhaps I have a possible solution for the existing Krita images created with sRGB display profile, but I can’t test cause I don’t have a Macbook, so who wants to try it is welcome 
Better test it with a copy of the Krita image.
Before exporting Krita image to PNG convert it to Display P3 (Image > Convert Image Color Space > Profile).
In this way you don’t change the display type, but correctly convert the color profile of the image according to Mac display (cause I suppose the issue was for a “Display P3” color profile wrongly associated to a “sRGB” image).
Then try to export with the various sRGB options:
- without embed / without force sRGB
- with embed / without force sRGB
- with embed / with force sRGB
