Hello,

I'm struggling with this for a while now. When I pick a color from an image in my browser, for example to match a RAL color, the color is much lighter in 3ds max with the same RGB value's. I've looked this up but could only find that I need to correct my Gamma value in 3ds max. The value is now 2.2 which should be good, but I still get much brighter colors when I enter them. Example:



Can somebody explain to me why this is, and possibly have a solution?

- Joep

Ahh thanks so much! I didn't know this was in there. This helps a lot, it's also got a temp bar and HEX color value input, which I was missing as well!
