Alt/Opt clicking into the spectrum bar in Color panel now changes both fill and stroke on release
When I hold Alt/Opt and drag the cursor over the spectrum bar, I am able to change the color of the inactive attribute — in this case stroke, since fill is activated. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the fill gets changed to the picked color too! This was not the case in the the previous version.

Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)
Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!9 votes -
Can't delete swatch
I have a random color swatch that appears in my Swatches palette every time I create a new document. It cannot be deleted. As far as I can tell, it is not being used anywhere. I can change it to a different color, but then if I try to delete it, it not only does not delete, but it changes back to the original color. Right now, it's some random shade of blue, but at other times it is a different color that persists. Here is a video: https://youtu.be/MVJKo4i0xfw

Changing color doesn't work sometimes
This bug goes long way back, as far as I remember using illustrator, both on PCs and Macs.
Sometimes (usually in text objects, but not only), when I pick a different swatch to change an object's color, the color in the swatch palette changes, but the object's color remains the same.
To resolve this, I have to choose "None" as the color, and then choose the color I want.2 votes -

Livetracing Bitmaps gives results with random shades of black
Up until recently, if I used the Livetrace and Expand command on a bitmap it would produce results with only pure white and pure black, as you would expect. Now it randomly assigns values to every piece of what should be black. Instead of 100% black they are 99.29% or 99.67%. Normally I would select one piece, select all by color and move it. Now I need to click on every single piece and apply black to them. Very tedious.

Recolour tool does not load custom colour palettes (AI 27.3)
I have restarted my machine already multiple times, but when I try to use the recolour tool, the added colour palettes I created do not load on the right hand side
1 voteThis happens because the swatches from the local library should panel should be added in the document’s Swatches panel for the Recolor to use it.

Opening Harmony Rules in the Color Guide crashes AI 27.2
Lately when opening the color guide and clicking on any of the non default harmony rules instantly crashes Illustrator with a segfault. This is happening on several AI files. I am on macOS 13.1 and AI 27.2 on an intel mac. I have attached the crash report from macOS.

Ink value changes to 0 while adjusting color
When selecting multiple items with a different color mix, values changes to 0 when adjusting a single ink while it shouldn't change. In older versions this doesn't occur.
In the screencap, the Cyan value changes to 0 so the colormix changes completely.
Operation version: MacoOS Ventura 13.2.1
Version Illustator: 27.3.13 votesWe have fixed the issue and a build with the fix is available in Beta.

Colors don't match
The color picker rounds the CMYK to the nearest whole number but the color window does not. They should be made consistent.

Color guide options reset to default on Illustrator restart
- Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2486
- Illustrator 27.2
- Open Color Guide Options from Color Guide panel -> customize Steps and/or Variation value -> close and open Illustrator
- Expected: Color Guide panel remembers options Result: options reset to default values (4 steps, 100% variation) so you have to re-enter them every time you start Illustrator
- not file specific, also happens when setting options with no file open - screenshots attached

「レビュー用に共有」で塗りがネガポジ反転する。
「レビュー用に共有」をしたときリンク先で表示されるドキュメントの塗りや線の色がネガポジ反転してしまいました。
色々と試してみたところ、カラー絵文字フォントが原因のようで、アウトライン化したら正しく表示されるようになりました。
アウトライン化前とアウトライン化後のファイルを共有しておきます。
（正しい塗りの色は青です）こちらはリリース版（27.4.1)、プレリリース版（27.6）どちらも再現しました（Mac OS、Ventura）。
Windows11のリリース版も同様です。

Certain colors generate #000000 HEX values in Color Picker dialog
Bug in 2023 (v 27.1.1) Illustrator. Certain colors, when examined with the Color Picker, shows HSB rightness of 0, RGB all 0, and Hex code of #000000. See GIF.
This is a pretty severe bug with other downstream consequence. Dragging these "broken" colors into swatches, for example, generates pattern swatches instead of process color swatches.
- MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (M1 pro)
- 2023 (v 27.1.1)
- examining colors by double-clicking the Fill color square
- expected: always have valid HSB/RGB/hex returned. Bug: some colors give incorrect values.

Numeric keypad not functioning properly in AI v27
When trying to type in numeric values in the swatches, it will change as you type the default back to "zero". I've gone back and forth between v26 and v27 and it appears to be working fine in 26. It is pretty much anywhere you have to type in numeric values.

CMYKのパラメータで触ったもの以外が勝手に0％になる。
Win10 pro
Ver. 27.1.1
CMYKの異なるオブジェクトを選択後、CMYKのいずれかを同じ数値にしようとすると、選択したもの以外のパラメーターが全て0％に変更されてしまう。
以前はそのようなことはなく、選択したもの以外のパラメーターはキープされていた。
例えば、C:10,M:20,Y:30:K40とC50:M:60,Y:70,K:80の2つのオブジェクトを選択し、両方のYの値を90に同時に変更しようとした場合、CMKの3つの数値はキープされず勝手に0に変わってしまう。3 votes -
Color values of existing objects change when images are placed by drag & drop
A bug report was received on the Japan Forum stating that when an image with a color profile embedded that differs from Illustrator's color settings is placed by drag-and-drop, the color values of existing objects are changed.
Here are the steps to reproduce the problem.
Save the image with Adobe RGB (1998) embedded as an example.
Specify sRGB in Illustrator's color settings and set a color management policy other than "None".Under the above conditions, when an image file is dragged and dropped onto a document, the color values of the existing objects are changed.
This behavior may be a…26 votesIt is reported the problem still happens on Macs, but is probably never happens on Windows.
To trigger the change, one can just the Preview mode.
