RGB values for colors may not match the RGB values for standard color templates in Expression Design

When you use Microsoft Expression Design, colors may not match the standard color templates. For example, white should have an RGB value of 255,255,255. However, Expression Design may display a different RGB value for white, such as 255,255,208.

This issue occurs if the color profile in the Color Management settings is not set to use the standard RGB (sRGB) display profile.

To resolve issue, set the color profile to use the sRGB display profile. To do this, follow these steps.
