1. Illustrator does not change the colour profile of Swathes between open files of different color profiles

   See Case 0189293847.
   "Basic RGB" Colour Swatch does not change colour when switching files (tabs) of open files with different Embedded profiles.
   If you close down then open illustrator, it will take and then keep the swatch with that profile.

   Replication of error.

   1. Create .ai file that has the "ProPhoto RGB" assigned profile and save ensuring the ICC profile is embedded
   2. Create .ai file that has the "sRGB" assigned profile and save ensuring the ICC profile is embedded

   3. Edit>"Colour Settings", and set the Working Space RGB to "ProPhoto RGB"
      Tick on:

      • Profile Mismatches
      • Missing Profiles Press OK

   4. Close down Illustrator

   5. Restart Illustrator

   6. Open up the "ProPhoto RGB" file first,
      then open up the "Basic RGB" swatch panel:
      Swatches Window > from the Menu "Open Swatch Library" > "Default Swatches" > "Basic RGB"

   7. Screen grab the "Basic Swatch Menu" and place into MS Office Paint
      You will notice the very saturated Red, Green Cyan and Magenta

   8. Open up the "sRGB" file next
      Note that the "Basic RGB" swatch panel does not change colour.
      Screen grab and paste into Paint and compare.

   9. Now close down Illustrator and repeat the process,
      but this time open up in the opposite order:
      "sRGB" first
      "ProPhoto" second

   You will notice this time that the "Basic RGB" swatch panel is not so saturated,
   and now matches the first file opened "sRGB".
   switching between panels does not change the colour of the "Basic RGB" swatch panel.
   Screen grab the "Basic RGB" swatch panel and paste into paint,
   and compare .. you will notice the change of color.

   The "Basic RGB" swatch panel should change colour as you switch between files that are open.
   It doesn't. This is a bug.

   You can change the "Colour Settings" so that the working space profile is "sRGB":
   Edit>"Colour Settings", and set the Working Space RGB to "sRGB"
   and repeat the stages above and you get the same issue.

   You should not have to shut down illustrator, for the swatches panel to pick up the new colours
   as you switch between open files on the tab.

2. 100% black will not output to film as 100%

   Came across this same issue now using CC 2017 but was able to isolate it. Customer file in CMYK color space, black at 100% nothing in the document except a 100% black rectangle. Illustrator reports 100% black but when output to film black is approximately 80%. Copying the entire content to a new document the output is at 100%. Using the original document and changing the color panel to grey scale black is 100%. Changing back to CMYK black is also 100% black. Placing the file into another dicument also produces 100% black. The latest file was created in CS6 but have had this issue since CS5. This appears to be an Illustrator bug.

4. User guide correction

   Customer support asked that I make this post via their twitter account. I found that the content in the user guide identifying the various symbols and marks of the swatch panel is not accurately labeled. E and F are wrong. They should say LAB and RGB but they instead are calling the icons CMYK AND RGB. Could be highly confusing those just learning the software. Thanks!!

5. Can't save color themes even when signed in

   I'm trying to save a color theme but when I mouse over "Save" it says "You must sign to save color themes" even though I am already signed in according to the Help drop down menu. As a result I can't save any color themes. I'm using the 1 week trial version of Adobe Illustrator called Adobe Illustrator CC Tryout 2017.1.0 Release.

7. Shapes won't change to colours saved to Libraries

   I have multiple colour palettes saved in my Libraries which I will use through Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign. Frustratingly, as I am in the middle of working on a design using basic shapes (rectangles, ellipses etc) and go to change the colour of that shape by clicking on a shade within my libraries it will not change! The shape will change colour when using colours from the swatches palette always. I end up having to quit Illustrator and restart it then colours from my library will work again.
