I was drawing something for my friend and couldn’t find the color I was looking for, so I searched it up online then used the color picking tool to draw with it. When I went to hue, contrast, and saturaton settings and adjusted it even slightly it would become a much less saturated version of the color i was looking for, even when I adjusted the color settings back to what they were originally after picking the color. I use advanced color picker.
It’s not clear what you’ve done here.
Did you find a colour online somewhere that had its RGB or Hex code listed and you entered those as a specific colour value in krita or did you download an image and then open it in krita and use the Colour Selector Tool (eyedropper/colour-picker) to pick a colour from it?
There is a situation where when you use the colour picker to pick a colour and then use the Advanced Colour Selector to make a change to the Hue, around the hue ring, the Saturation (inside the SV triangle) shifts very slightly to less saturated.
This only happens the first time you make a Hue change in that way and it happens again for the next colour you pick with the colour picker.
It only happens in the Advanced Colour Selector and it has been formally reported.
Can you post screenshot examples of what you’re seeing?

Yes, I used the color selector tool on a reference image I had on krita, once adjusting the color on advanced color selector it changed to a very different shade of that color. Yes color problem bad https://imgur.com/gallery/2bC3RF9 here is a short video
That is bad.
If you Export your painting from krita to a .jpg or .png file and then open that file: Pick that original purple colour from the opened jpg/.png file and paint with it on your original painting - then try adjusting the colour. Does it still give a bad change?
Are you using the RGB/A 8-bit default colour space?
I don’t see that kind of large change if I pick a colour from an image I downloaded from a website, paint with it and then move the slider a little.

I made a new krita canvas and inserted the image of my art and selected it. There was still a bad difference. My depth is on 8-bit integer/channel. my model is CMYK/Alpha. And profile is Chemical proof (default).
Oh. This is why a full screen screenshot is always a good idea.
Try this again with the standard RGB/A 8-bit integer with the default profile.
There’s very rarely any reason to actually use CMYK/A for painting and it can cause problems like this.
Why did you choose to work in CMYK/A instead of RGB/A?

I dont know how it even got set to that, I did what you said and the problem is still happening. Is there anything I could screenshot to get you a better idea of the problem?
Start again from nothing.
Close krita. Download that image you were using as a reference and open it in krita.
Is the colour profile as noted on the status bar at the bottom of the screen, RGB/A 8-bit integer default profile?
(If it’s not, there’s something strange going on.)
If it is, Resize your canvas to make it big enough to have the downloaded image and your own artwork side by side.
Then work on your artwork and see if the colour shift problem has gone away.
You can do a full screen screenshot (.png) with the Advanced Colour Selector and the Layers Docker visible if you like. The reason a screenshot is a good idea is because it shows the colour profile on the status bar, as well as other information.

Okay i figured it out, I was dumb. I was in color management settings rather than color selector, that probablem solved, now onto the next one.
