Swatches not naming properly vs document color mode
I create my document in CMYK but when I open my swatches the first time (I have done no copying or pasting into the document or anything to mess with any color settings), they are CMYK blends with RGB names. Why is it doing that and what can I do to fix it?

eyedropper tool doens't pick up properties
The eyedropper tool used to be able to pick up properties from one vector to another. for example when there is a vector shape with a border and a gradient and what to copy the same properties (same border and gradient) on to a different vector shape. Tried using shift, or double clicking on the eyedropper tool to look at the eyedropper options.

Recolor Artwork stops working if more than one document is open
If I have two documents open, I am unable to use Recolor Artwork under Color Guide. It just stops working. Nothing happens when I pull the sliders, click to randomly change the color order or click on color groups. It's broken.
Everything turns back to normal when I close the other document.

Overprint attribute does not work adequately
Create or select any object. On the Attributes panel set Overprint Fill/Stroke checkmark.
After deselecting object Overprint attribute remains CHECKED instead of resetting. And every newly created object instantly receive this Overprint attribute!Very annoying and sometimes cause real troubles with undesired overprinted objects.
Overprint attribute should reset to UNCHECKED after deselecting an object.

Pasting a hexadecimal color code into the Fill or Stroke under properties > appearance occasionally causes Illustrator to freeze up
- MacOS 10.14.5 (18F132)
- Select an object (for example, a rectangle), in the properties panel, under the appearance heading, select either fill or stroke, and paste a hex code into the textbox at the bottom of the popup panel. Occasionally, this results in Illustrator freezing, and can only be fixed by force-quitting.

Stroke/Fill Selection From Library
- Windows 10 Pro 10.0.17763 Build 17763
- I change the stroke color in appearance menu from library (created in Adobe Colours), which at first works, if I the for the same element or a different element in my graphic try to change the fill from the library, it will still change the stroke. Happens vise versa as well with fill first. Sometimes it resets if I do some other operation in between and I can suddenly change the other colour fill/stroke, but its irratic. But always depends on first action.
- Change fill from library (or stroke)

New Swatch grayed out when Stroke Color is active
Make New Swatch always available, not only when the Fill Color is active.
1 voteHi Jan,
Your New swatch option is disabled since the Stroke Color is set to None. New swatch functionality by default takes the current color.
If you apply some color to Stroke, the option will get enabled, similarly if you change Fill to None, it will be disabled for Fill as well.Hope This helps.

Generic Color Palate
I am using the newest version of Illustrator. Within the last week or so, my generic CMYK color palette has changed. The percentages that make up the color are different on nearly every color. My black color swatch used to be 100% black. Now it is C:74.97 M:67.92 Y:67.05 K:90.15. Everything in my document is set to CMYK. I changed nothing. My yellow is C:6.18 Y:96.55. It used to be 100% yellow. All of the colors have this issue. Please let me know how I can get this back to the normal way. I've been using Illustrator for the last…

swatches are not saving
My swatches are not saving to my library after closing the program and have to remake them. My brushes are doing the same thing. They are also not there when I open a new document during the same session that I have made/saved the new swatch or brush. I looked to update my program but it appears to be up to date.

Eye dropper not applying proper color/hex from Adobe Color Themes panel
I'm using the latest Illustrator v23.03. When selecting colors from the Adobe Color Themes panel, it does not copy the correct color hex to the selected item in my document. In the attached file, which I've scaled up for easier viewing, the square tiles represent the proper color within the Adobe Color Themes panel, with each overlaying the incorrect color Illustrator is copying over when selected. As you can see, there is a major discrepancy. This does not happen with all themes...some copy over perfectly, but many (in my case) do not. I've tried adjusting color profiles to see if…

Items inside of clipping masks do not get recolored like they used to using the Recolor tool. You have to directly select them now and manually recolor.
