If the user chooses a CMYK file, then attempts to choose an out-of-CMYK-gamut color via the RGB color space, the color picker rightly only will pick colors compatible with the CMYK color gamut, which is consistent with the document. The color picker is actually programmed correctly. Wade is correct in recommending that the user choose an RGB document if desiring to use RGB colors. My motto has always been, "it's buggy until I understand it." I wouldn't consider the way the color picker shows the colors as expected. Wade, you mean "the color you see is the result of how badly color picker was programmed to work"? If the color picker was color managed it would display only the colors within the limit of the color space of the current document so the user can not choose colors outside of it and then wonder why the colors in the document are not the same. Change the color mode properly to RGB and it will solve your problem. However, if you try assigning another RGB color space for, example Adobe RGB, from Edit > Assign Profile then the color picker will be equally useless as when working in a CMYK document. If you don't have a custom monitor profile you system assigns by default the sRGB color space as a profile of your monitor and since the default RGB mode in Illustrator is also using the sRGB color space then the Color PIcker will show no difference in a sRGB document. Again, as it was the case in the other thread, just switching to RGB mode will not fix the problem from the fact that the color picker is not color managed and will still show a difference even in RGB documents if the monitor profile is different than the profile of the RGB document. Monitor profiles are only RGB and in order to assign it as a color space of your document you have to have your document in RGB mode first. I checked the issue and it still did not fix the problemĬhristie if you mean that you tried my suggestion in the other thread, apparently you didn't do it properly.
