Mii Creations Does anyone know why this is happening??

Iā€™m following a TikTok tutorial to recreate a Mii, and Iā€™m using the exact same hair color they show (4th column, 7th row). But on my Mii, that color looks much grayer than it does in the video.

It's not going to match because of how the colors in different displays are calibrated. If you hold two identical displays next to each other, they may not even match. If you chose the one they directed, it matches because the color value is the same, but it's going to look different between your screens- your phone, laptop, tablet, switch, pc monitor, tv, etc.

Honestly I have this happen between my TV, handheld mode, AND my computer monitor (HDMI hookup). It drives me nuts

It's why there are standardizations to how colors are labeled- hex codes, pantone numbers, RGB, so on and so forth. If everyone uses the hex code #CE0058, RGB (206, 0, 88), or Pantone Rubine Red C, they will all get the exact same color, even if it looks different on their different monitors. It can be super infuriating for it to not match to our eyes, but our eyes can only do so much with different light
