Here is a small picture to illustrate the problem.
While technically the intermediate colors are not actually in RGB, they are definitely picked from the non-linear transitions between control points.
We are taught by native gradients to have blatant straight transitions between colors and don’t expect these to happen with other hues.The image on top is what we have now. Why yellow becomes more orange the further it goes form the point? Why green becomes darker and deeper? What is the color in the bottom left corner and where it comes from?
Sometimes we need only those colors we defined and their intermediate values.
Take a look at the bottom image — I faked it manually. This is what we expect to get out of these three colors.
I think a second mode should be introduced to allow this. -
Hi Egor,
Thanks for reporting this issue, Illustrator team really appreciate this.
We are not able to reproduce this issue “Freeform gradient shows RGB values when you work in CMYK space” , Kindly provide us some test file/video/gif so that we can investigate this further.Thanks
