Bright green turning brown when transferred - Eternize - 01-14-2020
I have an image I want to bring into another project, the image includes a bright lime-green color, hex code 05cb00 and a bright yellow hex code f3ff4d. However, when I drag the image, copy-paste, or otherwise attempt to bring the image into my project, the green becomes a muddy brown hex code 534931 and the yellow becomes a drab light-brown hex code bca471. It's to the point that I cannot even draw over the brown with the pencil tool because it, too, becomes the muddy brown. I'm sure it's some setting that I simply don't know about but it's driving me up a wall. Any help would be much appreciated.

Best guess: You are pasting into an Indexed Colour Image
Try setting the destination image mode into RGB Image -> Mode -> RGB before pasting.

Yep, that did it. I feel like an idiot. Thanks, man, I really appreciate it.
