Color Management (set color profiles)
XD should be a color managed application.
I'm not sure what the full context of color management is within the UI/UX industry is, or if it's something that many pay attention to, or if it's just left un-managed.
Currently a vast majority of designers are using high gamut displays to design. Our final output will however differ greatly without some proper color management implemented. If color managment is implemented, we can at least visually soft proof our design and colors to specific devices (ie: New iOS devices that support P3 color gamut), or older sRGB devices.
At the same time sRGB images used won't expand to the display's high color gamut, making them look over saturated.
(Currently using Windows Beta Version: 0.6.8.6)

I can't believe that I read forums from 2018 with this SAME issue and it still hasn't been resolved.... for a multimillion-dollar company this seriously shouldn't STILL be an issue after a bare minimum of 5 years. Please get it together, what's the point of the program if there is no color management, display colors are way off from true colors and no gradient imports from AI is ridiculous.

This is actually more than critical … How can this still be an issue. This overly saturated color output is messing up so much of the overall look and feel.
FIX THIS. Please!

The fact that we can't accurately determine the colors of the UI's we are designing is kind of ridiculous. This isn't some nice-to-have feature. It is a fix we have been waiting for, for a couple of years now.

This is not really a feature but more of a fix. Adobe XD Has a very hard time exporting assets with the right colors. Every assets have faded and washed out colors when exported. It's a shame. I have to use my Mac screenshot tool to take a snapshot of my asset with the right colors in XD. I sent two images to compare.
Secondly, why are exports pixelated, it's been years, and no fix for that.
Thirdly is actually a feature. Variable underline spacing. change the spacing of underlines.

This is even more frustrating because I LOVE XD -- and seeing so much pain being caused by not having... like... one person at Adobe listening to users and prioritizing issues that are critical concerns for them is tremendous shame 😢

Absolutely infuriating that this isn't supported yet. The fact that it's taken this long (and that it wasn't there from the very beginning) is just embarrassing, Adobe.

I opened Adobe XD, went to the top left menu, clicked saw 'color space' RGB / Unmanaged - got all excited... THEN realised I was still in Figma.
Hey I guess Adobe can't have the monopoly. Indesign, Photoshop. Figma and the others can have this space.

Please, please, you really need to fix this. This is totally basic. Otherwise Adobe XD can't be used for any professional projects! I just spent hours working on designs for a client, exported the screens and the colors in the exported files differ totally from what I see in XD and what the company colors are. It's a disaster!

How is this not a thing already!!! It should be a standard, just spent hours with a dev wondering why the colours were looking different but turned out it was adobe XD all along!

Was gonna use Adobe XD for my next project and love almost all of the features. Learned how to do everything and then realized there is no color management!? Still? Makes the app completely useless when you don't know how the colors will look in the end. Moving to Figma, but would love to come back because XD has grid repeat, which is super useful.

Is the problem currently being worked on?
Or are the votes on feature requests just going nowhere and being ignored?
I think it's sad that Adobe, with its years of experience, can't get something so essential right.
So far I have always defended Adobe CC and was against the switch to competing products. In the meantime, however, I have little hope.
Instead of creating the basis for a design tool, they prefer to develop gimmicks that can be marketed better. Xd has been around for 6-7 years. And I have been using it since the first hour. Since then I've been waiting for Adobe to react.
In the end, there are cheap alternatives with Affinity, figma, .... Which have not lost focus. -

Ça serait cool d'avoir cette feature, c'est vrai que Figma n'a pas ce problème...

Mac/Adobe user.
Adobe XD was my go to app, could no longer trust the color I was seeing.
I'm now a paid subscription to Figma, would love to use Adobe XD again.
