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)

Why it is not implemented yet? Adobe xd or evangelists don't even answer on twitter for pointing that issue out.

This is kinda insane this issue still exist. I like Adobe XD but I can't use XD going forward at all with a majority of my projects with my team. I'm almost at lost for words.

Adobe. This is insane that you don't listen to your users. As a design company, I would like to believe that color managment is at the top of your list. Users are clearly asking for it, stop worrying about new features right now and implement captain obvious features, please. Nothing is production-ready until you implement this.
Focusing on the 500+ users that want this could actually make professionals happy, then they would share the kind word that adobe started to listen to their users more, and so on and on and on.
Instead, we are dazzled with marketing, we have confidence, we implement our products, then we're let down by discovering that obvious features do not exist. We then get mad and we tell all our friends how bad of a company adobe is.

Hey guys, instead of voting other feature requests, ask your friends to vote this! Adobe must listen to the users!

We just noticed the same, and we're devastated. We've been designing this whole platform in XD, and our designers have developed the colour scheme in there, and then sending over the HEX codes to the system developers. Now on the launching day we realize the system looks dull and doesn't match the colours the Designers have been working with in XD. So turns out that yes, in fact XD has been fooling us all along and showing us fake colours! This will now result in so many more hours and cost for the developers to change everything again. This is a DISASTER Adobe! Seriously! Without correct colours the program is totally useless.

The lack of this feature is just plain unacceptable. We've encountered many issues so far because our designers design in XD and send the specs to our developers only to see that the colors they selected in XD look incredibly dull and desaturated when implemented. This happens only because XD shows all the colors oversaturated and there is no color management system to align XD with other design tools. This causes a huge issue in our projects and fixing it ends up extremely costly for us.

This is really unacceptable. How can designers commit to a design tool that doesn't have color management? We desperately need colors to look the same in our design tools as they do in browsers or exported assets. This is a real concern that must be addressed. Simply relying on the color profile of the display isn't enough. We need control over this!

Any great update is meaningless if it is not fixed.

The actual live color is different from the color displayed on the xd. I think this is the biggest problem and urgent. I hope it will be improved soon. I want to continue using xd Thank you.

This is a 3 year old issue that STILL WE SUFFER WITH!
I love XD but the colours are mental!
Maybe they are waiting for everyone else to turn up their saturation to ridiculous!? -

I am very in trouble because the colors in the XD work environment and the browser are different.
