My brand board colors look totally different after the Canva update last Tuesday

I opened a project I'd been working on for a client in Tulsa and all my hex codes shifted slightly, like the greens got warmer and the purples darker. I compared the same file in Figma side by side and the difference was obvious, but only after I switched the color profile in the export settings. It seems like Canva's recent update changed how they render colors on export, and my old files that were created more than a year ago are affected. Has anyone else noticed their saved projects shifting colors after the update, and did you find a way to lock the old rendering mode?

Honestly, maybe the old files were always off and you just never noticed until you put them side by side. Updates get blamed for everything, but colors shift on different screens too.

Dude YES, exactly this! I had the same thing happen with some old game screenshots last year. Pulled them up on a new monitor and was like wait, did the sky always look this purple? Turns out my old screen was just super warm and I never realized it. The files were fine the whole time. People are way too quick to blame updates when half the time it's just their setup or their eyes playing tricks on them.
