Description

This seems really strange but for some reason the colours are getting changed when I export my map to PDF using the composer.

I get the following colour shift:

Colour	Map RGB	Output RGB
RED	255,0,0	238,40,39
GREEN	0,255,0	103,191,79
BLUE	0,0,255	55,85,164

To reproduce:

Create a map with three features and style them with each colour above
Export using Export to PDF in the composer
Check with a colour picker tool

Hi
I noticed same behaviour, with colors no as colorfull as on screen.
I checked with to different pdf reader, and saw that foxit reader shows colors more close to QGIS ones. Is there any color profile applied somewhere, that should be described into pdf export?
