Colors appear different!!

[ArtistErin]

Hey anyone know how to determine if a color palette is accurate for print or even from different monitors?

Drawing on my Cintiq, I find colors that appear to look good in RGB for the web, then when I go to post on IG they look greener or greyer on my monitor. How do I fix this? This is so annoying...

Working on creating babies and having so much fun playing with new brushes! Yet still can't seem to nail the skin tones GRRRRRR. I have seen processes where a layer of underpainting is done in both traditional and digital formatting, which helps the artist "find the color palette", yet I'm curious how to find and create consistent color that doesn't look green or pallid.

Thoughts please?
Thank you...
Erin

@ArtistErin Hi Erin, you will find it to be virtually impossible to get accurate or exact match color across digital platforms. And social media companies like IG and FB employ compression to images that are uploaded to their servers. Sometimes it changes the image slightly, sometimes more noticeably.

If you plan to make prints of these images, your best bet is to get your working monitor as close to color correct as you can. If you are only going digital, a color correct monitor will still help, but you are at the mercy of the compression algorithms. Fortunately, IG does have some editing tools to help with uploads, but it probably still won't be exactly what you see on your Cintiq.
