    This isn't directly related, but I am pretty frustrated with the color inaccuracies in my setup with my Macbook Air and using an iMac as an external monitor. Both use the default, stock-Apple color profiles. My color picking tool, Sip, generates drastically different HEX codes when picking from the same image in the same app on two different displays. Totally maddening.

    If anyone has a sure-fire fix, I would be extremely grateful!

      I’m not sure about SIP, but Digital Color Meter has a Display Native Values option that will disregard color profiles and give you the exact values, irrespective of the monitor being sampled.

        Hrm, that's good to know. Sip is a really handy global color picker with a quick hotkey to sample HEX (or any format you want, really) from anywhere on your system.

        Unfortunately there are no settings to control the color profile it respects.

        Thanks for the suggestion, though!
