When I click on a color from my Library, it adds "Spot Color" to my swatch group, which is always Magenta. Each time I click, it adds another, and another, and another.

I'm not able to add any color or color theme to my swatches from a Library I've created. When I tap on "Add theme to swatches" or "add color to swatches" it adds a strong PINK color to swatches... just that... one swatch color.. the same one over and over and over.

If Global Colors are still not supported after 6 years, prevent them being added to a CC library.
There is no warning when the box is checked.

This bug makes using libraries very unintuitive!

See this example.

It is not only spot colors from InDesign that become magenta, Global colors from Illustrator have the same problem.

This problem needs to be fixed ASAP its annoying

This is STILL HAPPENING

When I add a color library, downloaded from Adobe to my library and I tried to import into swatches it changes to a magenta color. The folder also comes up, but has no colors added to it. It's been doing this for multiple versions for a while now.

I am using a PC and these are the specs:
Device name Laptop-RoseGold
Processor AMD Athlon Gold 3150U with Radeon Graphics 2.40 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (5.92 GB usable)
Device ID 8F7AE8FF-2B2A-40A1-A522-C798F101587D
Product ID 00325-82105-30687-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

This is absolutely broken. It makes using creating your own themes useless.

It appears to only happen if the swatch added to cc libraries is global. It’s global is unchecked it seemingly works fine

How is this - what is obviously bug still not fixed!? Libraires *could* be one of Adobe's most useful features but it's so buggy and half-assed.

It currently also happens with Global RGB colors added to the CC library. When added to another document from the CC library, they lose their name and become a magenta spot color.

Spot in Illustrator

This is still not solved:
Create a Pantone Spot color swatch in InDesign (I used 321 C for sentimental reasons) and add it to a CC Library.
Switch to Illustrator, double click the swatch in the CC Library to add it to the Swatches panel.
It becomes a Global Process Color CMYK Swatch as 100% Magenta instead of a green Spot color.

Hi, I am a design professor and most students in my class experienced the very same problem identified above when we were doing an exercise to learn how to apply the correct color palettes to different logo files. Specifically, we created fictional identity designs as a means to learn how to create a production-ready bundle of files ( logo versions in b&w, spot color (Pantone), 4-color process, and RGB). Almost 100% of my students 18 had the file that should have been CMYK show up when opened as RGB. Through testing this unusual pattern of error, it appears that Adobe Illustrator will choose to show the color palette that was last opened within the application and create a color translation of what the color *should be* into what it want to show you. The students had trouble getting the color palette to hold the color information they entered (percentages of either CMYK or RGB, in particular). Regardless of what they had entered, a computer with one or the other of these color palettes open would override their settings. In one case, I also witnessed a student manually enter RGB values, only to deselect the item, select it again, and then find *different* RGB values in place than those I watched him enter. In 19 years of teaching, I've never seen this problem be so widespread across student files. For what it's worth, the Pantone palette behaved. The problem specifically is between RGB and CYMK colors/color palettes. PLEASE FIX THIS. This will cause major problems in real projects that rely upon color mode accuracy. Please contact me with information about the problem and/or solution. We would appreciate a follow-up.
