Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used
Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors, you get a warning about a Missing Profile (which is not true) when you create or open a file while the Global (or Spot) Colors are still in the Recent Colors (they are available across documents). If you click OK the file opens, just as it would with the warnings off. The warning will not show again during the current session. But if you click Cancel (as many times as the number of Global/Spot Colors that you have in your Recent Colors). The file will open with the recent Global/Spot Colors converted to None.

Thanks Ankit! Works as expected in the 29.9.14 beta. No more warning on creating file/swatches, no more spot/global converted to None.

Thanks Ankit for working on this!

You already get a warning that there is something wrong when you have Color Settings > Missing Profiles: Ask When Opening checked. When you create a new Global or Spot Swatch you will get the "The document does not have an embedded CMYK profile" alert (even in an RGB document).
