I need to know how the two phrases:
- a. I'm OK with it.
- b. It's OK with me.
differ in meaning.
Example:
1: Do you like this color?
2: I have no problem with this color. Yea, actually, …
- a. I'm OK with it.
- b. It's OK with me.
I think aside from a probable geographical preference over each case, when you want to imply "I have no issue with it", the difference between the two is so subtle that one can consider them quite interchangeable. This similar question acknowledges my take.
However, this is what strikes me and I need a native confirmation on my take.
Please let me know about it.

For me, the difference is subtle enough that it probably won't matter in most cases.
I will say that there is a difference, if used in spoken language, depending on where the emphasis is placed. If the speaker puts any emphasis on themself ("it's okay with me") then they are seeking to draw attention to the fact that their opinion may differ from that of other people. But even then, there's not necessarily any difference between the two ("I'm okay with it..." says the same thing).
