Matching Xcode color space with Digital Color Meter

Question

In Xcode Interface Builder, I use Digital Color Meter to find the color code of an item as follows:

The values for (R,G,B) are (255,172,40).

Then I select a label to set it's color same. I proceed as follows:

However, now when I use Digital Color Meter to detect the newly assigned color, I find instead of (255,172,40), I get (253,156,32).

How can I make the color of both items match?

Answer 1

In Digital Color Meter, make sure that the display drop-down menu is set to "Display in Generic RGB." If using Interface Builder, set the color to be displayed in sRGB.
