After Greg's question yesterday about color schemes, I thought about trying to make a BBEdit version of Nord. And I did... except the background color is really, really light compared to what it should be.
So, I double-checked: I'd entered the proper background color, #2E3440, and BBEdit indeed says that's what it is. So I used the Digital Color Meter app and set it to sRGB -- double-checking that now it measured the background color of this swatch on the Nord web page <https://www.nordtheme.com/docs/colors-and-palettes> as #2E3440 -- and BBEdit's background measured as #3D4451. It seems like all of BBEdit's color swatches are being changed to colors that don't match. However, if I change the color meter to "Generic RGB," then BBEdit's background measures as #2E3440... but the web page color swatches no longer match the hex codes they're supposed to be. So: is BBEdit operating in a different color space that I'm going to have to convert these color hex codes to, or is something else going on here? (I'm hesitant to report this as a "bug," although a cursory check of a couple other popular color scheme web sites -- Dracula and Solarized -- suggests they're mapping their hex codes to sRGB, too, so this could make porting schemes to BBEdit extra fiddly.) -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
