Created attachment 140571 [details] Color chosen vs color displayed Change any font color, the color displayed inside netbeans does not match the color values chosen (It doesn't have to be through the RGB picker, RGB was used as an example). Black is still displayed correctly as 0,0,0 White is still displayed correctly as 255,255,255 The rest of the colors are on a curve (with the displayed RGB being higher than chosen), the colors near 128,128,128 are the most inaccurate, you can clearly see they are wrong without testing the values. This happens irrespective of color profile used and display connected. Default display is the retina 13" (2013). This affects all color schemes used, none of them look right. This happens only in Netbeans and no other Java app.
Same issue in Java 7 update 40 and Netbeans 7.4 RC1.
Stando can you please have a look? Seems like a Mac specific issue and I think our code invoking is falls into property editors if I am not mistaken. But I am not sure I see the problem --- please check it.
Actually this happens in any Java application (e.g. SwingSet demo) and in native applications as well. When I switch the Color Meter to 'Display Native Values' it does show correct RGB values. So please clarify what exactly the issue is here and reopen, thanks.
