When I deselect object whilst inputting CMYK colour values colour changes
When I deselect object whilst inputting CMYK colour values, the colour of the object changes, i.e. values suddenly change to other values. Mac OS Ventura 13.7.1 (22H221). Adobe Illusrator 2025 29.0.1

David, please look at the document’s tab — what does it says there? CMYK or RGB?
If it’s RGB — then each time you put CMYK values for colors, they get converted to the document’s color mode, RGB, and then converted back to CMYK, when you try to read the color back.Ai, unlike some other apps, does not allow mixed intents in one document.
You can change the intent (that is the color mode) in File > Document Color Mode, but it won’t change your Swatches, especially crucial for black one.If it’s CMYK, than it’s strange and requires further investigation.
