Eye dropper picks up the wrong color
As seen in the clip attached, the eyedropper does not always pick up the correct color. After speaking with a few Adobe support members, they were unable to come up with a solution.

Color Mixer Bugs + Feature Request
I use the color mixer (color wheel) daily. I have come across an annoying bug, as well as a couple features missing:
Bug: Some base colors will be automatically 'locked' in the color mixer, indicated by a '-'. For example, let's say I'm trying to turn white into red.
- First, white needs to be unlocked. By clicking the '-', it will become an arrow '->', and the swatch should be toggle-able now.
- The first time you toggle the white, it selects, sliders can be moved to make it red, but it doesn't stay adjusted; it reverts back to…2 votes -
global color slider occasionally stuck
We work from a preset set of colors that I have set up as global colors so that we can easily use percentages of each color in the projects we work on. I have found that not infrequently the global color slider will get "stuck" on the initial percentage it is set to. Trying to change the percentage by typing in a new percentage will get set back to the percentage that it was originally set to (I was just working on a project where I set it to 30% initially. That looked too faint so I typed in "40"…

Clicking on swatch in PMS Color panel jumps down to list
So I am using a pantone color swatch book panel in Illustrator and I'll be at the top of the list and I'll click on a swatch color to change a shape's color and for some reason when I click on the swatch, it will jump down near the bottom or middle of the list so I'll have to scroll back up and click on the swatch again. It get's really tedious especially when I have to change a lot of colors or I have to go and search for a while for the pantone color again.

Problem rasterising unicode-named spot colors
If you make a spot color named not in English, assign it to a path and then try to rasterize it with "keep spot colors" option checked, the rasterized image will miss that spot color. It will be converted to process colors instead.
Renaming it to English name immediately fixes the problem. Adding a single non-English letter (I tried Russian) returns it back.
This can be easily tested with separation preview panel that hides unused spot colors. Tested on Mac with the latest Illustrator, also tried on older Illustrator CC - behaviour is the same.

Changing colour by pasting code doesn't register as a change / can't save.
I've got a pallette file (yes I should make a swatch), but that's not the issue.
If I copy the code from one colour, then select an object in a different file and paste the code into the box… The program doesn't register a change has happened.
So when I "cmd+s" it doesn't register and my assets don't update in AE.1 vote -

Issues with changing tint by typing in % value and hitting Return key
Illustrator 2018 CC 22.0.1
Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6As per video, after typing in a numerical value for a tint on a global colour in the Color Panel and hitting Return, the value defaults back to original value. In my video, it shows that it’s having issues with values of 50% and 100% but this occurs randomly and can happen with different tint values.

Adobe Color CC "Adobe Servers not available" [Bug]
Unfortunately I can't open the expore-rider of adobe color cc when signed in.
Everything works perfectly, when I'm visiting the webpage https://color.adobe.com as a guest. But when I sign in, which is required to perform any actions, the above mentioned error occures.
The "Create" and the "My Themes" riders work still perfectly when signed in.
I've tried it under Edge/Chrome and Firefox. Besides Firefox none of the browsers has Addons installed. I'm running a Windows 10 Machine.3 votesHi ,
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Custom color library have varied and inconsistent behaviors
When creating a custom color library, for example, using PANTONE colors with custom CMYK values, Illustrator imports them in to the swatches pallet inconsistently. Double clicking adds colors one way, clicking on "add to swatches" adds color another way. And, some PANTONE colors are added differently than how they were imported in to the custom color library. For example: I created a custom CMYK build for PANTONE 115 C. I imported to my custom color library then double click to add to swatches. It adds the color but somehow converts the color to what looks like a Lab to CMYK…

Colors Display As Black and Blue
An AI file opens on all our computers except one, with 5 different colors, blue, green, and orange. The one exception opens the file but it renders as black and blue. In all the color settings areas it shows the correct colors but the rendering still doesn't render correctly no matter what you change.

Eyedropper picks wrong color from vector art placed behind transparent image (with Shift)
I have in image on isolated transparent backround, in CMYK, with no profiles.
It covers some art. I want to apply color of underlying art to another object. I pick Eyedropper tool and pick color from bottom art, holding Shift, clicking through transparent parts of my image.
AI picks wrong color, with fractions and dirty channels.
this is related to color picking in CMYK document from real CMYK values of an image, which AI fails to do. Again, I think AI should pick REAL color.17 votes -
Eyedropper wants to convert everything to text color?
I have several elements that need to be colored the same way. After coloring the first one, I'm trying to color pick it to color the others... only as soon as I hover over the previously colored object a T appears next to the eyedropper and it colors the object black, regardless of the color I click on with the tool.
There is NO text on the page!I cannot find anything that addresses this problem, and I'm wasting a lot of time trying to figure it out.

color on screen looks different if cmyk or spot
this is a problem i found in illustrator, indesign and photoshop cc.
i create a gradient, say from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0). (the color is not important)
than i create another gradient, from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0), but spot color.
than i active 'overprint preview'.
on screen, the 2 color look different, and it's wrong.
we have the same color, the same gradient, so it MUST look the same.5 votes
