The colors in the closed file are persistently and almost forcibly trying to enter the palette.
Let's say a spot color was used in a previous work and somehow copied. Later, when the file job is finished and I start another new job even though I have closed it, the copied color in the closed file persistently and almost forcibly tries to enter the palette. I tried to describe it simply in the video.

Eyedropper tool not showing correct colors sampled outside of Illustrator
When I click and drag the eyedropper tool outside of Illustrator to sample a color from something else (a website, pdf document, etc.), the color isn't correctly picked up.
For example, if I move the eyedropper over something orange, it shows in Illustrator as blue or black; even if I sample a large white space, it shows in Illustrator as a different color. It seems to only be showing sampled colors as white, neutral, black/gray, and shades of blue.
The program is up-to-date.
I tried it in two browsers, Chrome and Safari, and the results were the same in both. …8 votesWe have seen this issue specific to macOS 10.15. Enabling “Screen Recording” access right to Illustrator resolved this issue.
You can change this setting by going to Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording and add Illustrator Application.
Please try this and reply in comment if the above suggestion worked for you.

Illustrator CC won't embed color profile correctly
Windows 10 64-Bit
Illustrator 22.0.1Whenever I am saving an Illustrator .ai file with the checkbox for embed color profile checked, the resulting file does not have a color profile embedded correctly. When I reopen that file in Illustrator it seems to have the correct profile embedded but in Bridge or InDesign the file appears to have no color profile attached. If I export the same file as .psd file Illustrator embeds the color profile correctly.
My colormanagment is synched via Bridge.8 votesPlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

CMYK colors get recalculated in a document with color mode changed from RGB to CMYK, using Color Picker
According to the user, they often receive files created in RGB mode, and they have to convert them to CMYK, using File > Document Color Mode, make specific changes and push documents further. And while the document becomes CMYK, Ai keeps recalculating supplied values, as if these get double-converted via RGB space.
There are easy steps to reproduce this problem from scratch.
1. Create a new RGB document, using Web Document Profile
2. Go File > Document Color Mode > CMYK
3. Create a rectangle
4. Open Color and enter a CMYK color, like 15-30-45-15, tabbing through values. Press Enter…7 votes -
カラーコード入力で色を変えると戻れない
Illustrator 26.2.1
windows10 21h1カラーモードRGBでカラーパネルもRGBでの作業で、カラーコード(#と6桁)を打ち込んで色を変え、前の色に戻したいなとctrl+z(取り消し)を押すと挙動がおかしいです。
まったく戻らなかったり、カラーコードを打ち込む前の操作に戻ったりします。コミュニティに投稿し、再現されている方がいるのでバグだと思います。
ご対応のほどよろしくお願い致します。

CMYK Colors change by themselves randomly
Watch as I simply keep trying to specify a color in a CMYK document. Simply changing the hex code, then deselecting the element, then double click the fill box to open the color, and sometimes it stays, sometimes it changes. I change it, it changes again. I need this to work 100% I can't have colors randomly changing on me after I specify them. I can also trace similar color problems back since v6 or so - had many color inconsistencies between illustrator versions, this constant color shift battle has to be fixed

Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.

Dragging a gradient slider stop changes the opacity of other stops on the slider
Hi all.
Since I was asked by one of the Adobe employees, here's my post.
Windows 10.I am getting seriously miffed. After using Illustrator ever since the nineties I can no longer do what I need so, so often: duplicating a color stop in a gradient while keeping the other stops as they are.
Say I have the following:
Stop 1 - position 0 - Opacity 0
Stop 2 - position 25 - Opacity 100
Stop 3 - position 75 - Opacity 100
Stop 5 - position 100 - Opacity 0I need a zero opacity stop on position…

Blue is now purple
When selecting a vibrant blue with the color-picker it shows it correctly and when it is applied it looks purple. (the color's HEX is correct though)
This also happens when I drag&drop an image that has vibrant blue colors in it.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Some freeform gradients change when selected with one or more other objects
The problem always seems to affect the same objects and certain color groups. I've attached two pictures: the first shows the gradient I created, the second shows how the gradient changed the instant I selected it with another object.
Please view this thread, as it includes a complete description of the problem and several photos:

Eyedropper STILL not wroking on grouped objects in Illustrator 24.2.3
When using the eyedropper on grouped objects, it'll show correctly in the color panel, but it'll only apply the stoke color to the group. Please fix this! The eye dropper has not worked for grouped objects for way too long now.

Problem Illustrator 24 does not support the old PANTONE libraries
I tried to follow your guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html, that I always used to insert the old PANTONE libraries and have a conversion to CMYK instead of LAB and in this version it doesn't work.
I contact the online chat and they replied that this thing with ILLUSTRATOR 24 is no longer supported, and it is absurd.
I also tried to install the prereleas 24.0.1 but it doesn't work.
I can't work without this.

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…

Making changes to rgb vector artwork causing color changes
Using the latest version of Illustrator CC, when I open a particular logo (a multi-layered object with active strokes) and make any changes (ex: outline strokes, rotate, re-scale, etc), I experience a color dulling and color changes to the entire logo.
Oddly enough this only happens with the RGB version of the logo, not the CMYK version of the logo. And when I cmd-z these actions the color dulling / color changes won't revert back. In all of my years using Illustrator I've never witnessed this strange behavior, which is why I assume this is a bug.
Even stranger, after…

Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info
If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.
I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and…
