RGB Gradient Colour Code changes

Hi everyone,

I want to create a Fusion macro with a gradient with specific colours (RGB/HEX Code) from a brand book. However, when I save the macro and use it, the RGB values have slightly changed.
The same happens, when I close my project and reopen the fusion composition with the nodes that go into the macro.

Just to be sure I am clear.
Let's say, I want to save a gradient with RGB values, e.g. 10/10/10 and 140/283/10 when I save the project, reopen it and check the gradient colours they are set to 10/11/11 and 140/282/10.
Since these are supposed to be brand colours it's inconvenient to have to check them every time I use the macro.

It does not seem to happen when I use a Four Colour Gradient in the edit page.

I appreciate any hints what I can do.

Cheers
Marie

Hi Marie,

More than happy to check it for you. Do you mind copy and paste your macro here?

Hi Davy,

apologies for the late reply.

I'm new to macros and didn't know you can display them as code. When I did that, I checked out the RGB values and converted them back to HEX and they are correct. Is it maybe a rounding error?

Here's the code:

Hi Marie,

No problem,

I haven't yet opened your script into Fusion to check it. Are you happy with your colours now?
