1. Illustrator 30.7 Bug – First Color in Recolor Artwork “Current Colors” Incorrectly Appears Gray

   After updating Adobe Illustrator to version 30.7, I am experiencing an issue with the Recolor Artwork feature. The first/original color in the Recolor Artwork panel is being displayed as gray, even though the actual artwork color is green.

   Before the update, the color was correctly recognized and displayed as green. This issue appears to have started after installing the latest Illustrator update.

   Expected behavior: The original color should be correctly recognized and displayed as green in the Recolor Artwork panel.

   Actual behavior: The first/current color is incorrectly displayed as gray, which affects the recoloring process and makes it difficult to work with the correct original color.

   I have attached screenshots showing the issue. Please investigate this as a possible bug introduced in Illustrator 30.7.

2. Recolor not working with Color Books

   1. Windows 11 Pro 25H2
   2. Adobe Illustrator Desktop v30.7
   3. Steps: Select artwork to be recolored>in the recolor advanced options diaglogue panel select the color book (doesn't appear to matter which one)>results are that some or all of the "new" colors are 50%black.
      
   4. Until yesterday when I updated Illustrator to the most recent version, recoloring cmyk or rgb colors to a specific color book, specifically my old pantone+ solid coated color book as that's what I use for work, returned the expected pantone+ solid coated equivelant colors consistently. Help please!

3. Color settings become unsynchronized when any image gets placed in document

   After the 30.2.1 update, (mac os 26.3.1, Win 11) I noticed a very strange and annoying behavior in Illustrator. It's about Color Settings. I use "Europe General Purpose 3" and I apply it via Bridge to all apps, i.e. Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. Everything works and when I look in those apps color settings — I see "synchronized" everywhere. However, if I place any image in Illustrator — "synchronized" immediately changes to "unsynchronised". Even if I change to "Europe General Purpose 3" in the settings dropdown (in Illustrator) again and save the Ai document - when it opens, I see "unsynchronised" again in the Color Settings panel. I haven't seen such nonsense since 2006 when I started working with Illustrator. I believe this is just a bug and it will be fixed in the next version. Does anyone else have this situation?

6. Illustrator forgets to undo the document color mode switch

   Here’s a simple test.
   1. Create and RGB-based document — the title says 'RGB'
   2. Draw something
   3. Change the color mode of the document into CMYK — the tab’s title changes accordingly (notice the History displays the generic 'Undo' instead of expected 'Document color mode CMYK')
   4. Draw something else again
   5. Start undoing steps, either with Cmd/Ctrl+Z or with the History panel. When you reach up the first object drawn, the tab’s title should display RGB — but it still says CMYK! ...and if you hover over the title, the hint appears saying it’s RGB (or not!) ...and if you draw something after this, it stays CMYK now. Ai forgets the document was an RGB one and never undoes it!

   If I try this in an older version, without History in it, like CC2017 — it works as expected.

7. Harmony Rules display all selected colors when recoloring artwork

   1. Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB, Tahoe 26.5.1
   2. Illustrator 30.7

   I want to premise this is likely a minor bug and doesn't really affect everything, but me+ others previously reported a color guide bug on 30.6 and there is a current bug with Recolor Artwork, so I assume this inconsistency might be helpful information.

   With a group of shapes selected (any amount), select Recolor Artwork with the Color Guide panel open.

   Once the Recolor Artwork menu opens, the Color Guide Harmony Rules panel is updated to contain every color within the selected artwork group.

   Rather than display the harmony group related to a single selected color, the panel updates to simply display all selected colors.

   I have attached a screen recording showing this process as well as a screenshot showing the updated panel behaviour.

   If necessary I can provide an example file but I imagine this is reproducable.

8. Swatch pattern reduces scale when copied from one illustrator document to another

   When I copy a CAD drawing from one illustrator document to another, the pattern swatch scale in the CAD reduces.
   I've noticed it doesn't happen with every swatch, only some. Sometimes the CAD itself will also reduce scale.
   I have also noticed that if I create a new document I won't have this issue, however when I paste it into an already existing document, this is when the problem is usually occurring.
   I have doubled checked the canvas size for both documents, and they are the same.
   This is in version 30.2.1.

9. Illustrator 2026 Eyedropper Leaves Previous Fill Color Hidden in Nested Objects

   In Illustrator 2026, the Eyedropper tool sometimes applies the sampled appearance to the selected group/subgroup level instead of replacing the actual appearance of the underlying object.

   This creates a dangerous prepress issue: the object visually appears recolored, but the previous fill color remains inside the nested object structure. The old color does not appear as a separate duplicated object when ungrouping. It only becomes visible after entering isolation mode several levels deep. If that internal element/fill is deleted, the entire object disappears, which confirms it is not a duplicate object but the original object retaining its previous appearance.

   Expected behavior: the Eyedropper should copy and apply the selected appearance as it did in Illustrator 2025, replacing the object’s actual appearance without leaving the previous color hidden inside nested groups.

   Actual behavior: Illustrator 2026 sometimes stacks the new appearance above the object/group while preserving the previous internal fill, causing incorrect color separations and a high risk of production errors in packaging/prepress workflows.

   I'm a very experienced user. This started on Illustrator 2026. 2025-2024 were OK.

10. Sampling a color from a layer below a placed PDF picks white, unlike previously

    Have a layered file. Top file is a linked PDF with linework. Below that layer are colours. When I want to eyedrop a colour from the layer below for a new object, while it samples the colour correctly it turns the object white instead of the colour sampled. The only work around is to turn off the linked PDF layer on top and it will sample it correctly. This was never an issue in previous versions and is very frustrating.

11. Object appearance defaults when selecting new colors (white fill, black stroke)

    When selecting a new color swatch value from the menu (see image) often times when the document has first been opened or an object has not been selected during this session, any selected objects revert to the default appearance - 1 pt outline, black stroke, white fill - regardless of what they were before. Then you have to undo what happened and try again to apply your changes. It's a minor inconvenience, but it only showed up in the last 3 updates. A clean install doesn't fix this issue. This can happen just a single time, or multiple times with a file.

12. Adobe Illustrator Pantone Connect LAB Color Bug

    My team is running into a bug with Pantone Connect integration in Illustrator.

    Steps to repeat:
    1. Create Adobe Illustrator file.
    2. Add Pantone swatch with Pantone Connect.
    3. Swatch is LAB color, as it should be.
    4. Save as PDF.
    5. Import PDF into InDesign, and it comes in as a CMYK Pantone swatch.
    6. If we import the native AI file, it comes comes in as a LAB Pantone swatch.

    We also noticed that if you put something like a rectangle in the document, and have it selected, when you select your swatch in Pantone Connect, it will add the Pantone LAB swatch to swatches, but it will fill the rectangle with a CMYK swatch of the color. So, then if you click on the flyout menu in the Swatches palette, and select "unused colors" that Pantone swatch will be selected, because it's not really tied to anything in the document. The rectangle is filled with CMYK, not Pantone.

13. Data integrity bug: Illustrator 30.3 changes CMYK swatch values after pasting clipboard bitmap image and reopening file

    Product: Adobe Illustrator Desktop
    Version tested: 30.3
    Document color mode: CMYK
    Issue type: Data integrity / color swatch value corruption

    Summary:
    Adobe Illustrator 30.3 reproducibly changes CMYK swatch values after a bitmap image from the system clipboard is pasted into a CMYK document. The issue appears after saving, closing, and reopening the .ai file.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new CMYK document in Illustrator 30.3.
    2. Create a CMYK swatch, for example C10 M10 Y10 K0.
    3. Paste any bitmap screenshot/image from the system clipboard into the document.
    4. Save the .ai file.
    5. Close the file.
    6. Reopen the file.
    7. Check the CMYK swatch value.

    Actual result:
    The CMYK swatch value changes from C10 M10 Y10 K0 to approximately C9.77 M9.77 Y9.77 K0 after reopening the file.

    Expected result:
    The CMYK swatch value should remain exactly C10 M10 Y10 K0. Pasting a bitmap image from the system clipboard should not modify existing CMYK swatch definitions.

    Additional observations:

    • The issue is reproducible in Illustrator 30.3.
    • The issue is specifically triggered by bitmap images pasted from the system clipboard.
    • If no clipboard bitmap image is pasted, the CMYK swatch value does not change.
    • CMYK values such as 0%, 50%, and 100% do not appear to change.
    • Values such as 10% change to approximately 9.77%, which suggests a possible unintended 8-bit quantization or percentage remapping.
    • This is not just a display issue. The saved file reopens with changed CMYK swatch values.

    Impact:
    This is a serious print/prepress data integrity issue. It can silently alter exact CMYK swatch values, brand colors, and production colors in saved Illustrator files.

    Product: Adobe Illustrator Desktop
    Version tested: 30.3
    Document color mode: CMYK

14. Pasting a single CMYK channel value modifies all CMYK channels

    Illustrator version: 29.8.9
    Operating System: Windows 11

    Description:
    When I copy a single CMYK percentage value (for example, the K/Black percentage) from one object using the Color panel and paste it into the corresponding CMYK field of another object, Illustrator also changes the other CMYK channel values automatically.

    Expected result:
    Only the pasted CMYK channel (for example, K) should change, while the remaining CMYK values should remain unchanged.

    Actual result:
    Illustrator modifies the other CMYK channel values as well, even though I only pasted a value into a single channel.

    Question:
    Is this the expected behavior (a feature), or is it a bug? It seems impossible to copy a single CMYK percentage between objects without affecting the remaining channels.

17. Illustrator in 30.3 version stopped reading spot colors (like Pantones) from greyscale PSD files.

    When placing a grayscale PSD file with added spot color (it can be either Pantone or custom spot), only the grayscale is readed into Illustrator, spot color is being ignored. TIF files and CMYK colorspace files work normally.

18. Swatch color values get adjusted proportionally when pasting a value with Ctrl/Win+V

    New Swatch dialog always adjust values proportionally when just pasting a value.

    Here are the steps to reproduce the bug (and the GIF):

    1. In a new CMYK document create a global swatch with CMYK 33 10 33 0
    2. Confirm, edit the swatch again
    3. Copy '20' value as text from anywhere
    4. Paste the value into the M input — using Ctrl/Win+V (I’m on Windows)

    Ai would turn both '33' values into '66', doubling it, as if Ai thinks I want to adjust values proportionally — as if I HOLD Ctrl when CONFIRMING the value — while I haven’t confirmed it yet...
    If I paste using Shift+Insert, the values stay unchanged as expected.

    It could have been a nice trick, to choose if I want to proportionally change values or not — similar to how some panels in Ai allow to temporarily constrain values with Ctrl held, like Color or Transform — but... we have no way to just PASTE without it :)

19. Swatches disappear in Swatches panel when switching between documents

    I've got two documents open. An RGB one, and a CMYK one. When I CMD+TAB between the two, all the current swatches disappear. I have to click on a different 'view swatches' button to make them appear. This happens EVERY TIME. I just updated to the latest version of Illustrator thinking it would fix it, but it doesn't.

    Hi Everyone,

    We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 29.8.1 which is available worldwide now.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

20. Object > Pattern > Make gives 'Can't define a new pattern from the current art' message

    Discovered in 29.8.1, also seen in beta 30.0.21. Both on MacOS 14.7.6.

    1. Draw some shapes. Select them.
    2. Object > Pattern > Make
    3. "Can't define a pattern from the current art" pops up instead of pattern edit mode.

    Dragging the shapes to the Swatch palette still works, luckily, so I can get on with what I want to do, but what the heck?

    ---

    oookayyy, further exploration reveals that it is something about one particular global color swatch?!? see attached file.
