Illustrator automatically changing colors
When you place image (RGB) into Illustrator it would preserve the color profile. Now it changes it automatically and this seems to be a common problem if you search the internet. Fix it as it makes this program far less useful.

Pattern Seam issues with Adobe Capture patterns
when using adobe capture patterns there is a transparent seam in the pattern, I am able to remove the seam by change the width of the pattern but its only a temporary fix as soon as I change the pattern the seam comes back. This issue only seams to happen in illustrator, because when I use the same patterns in photoshop there is no gap between patterns
Steps to replicate:
- use adobe capture to create a pattern.
- create a shape in illustrator
open the libraries tab and insert the pattern
where lines/ spaces appear in-between the patterngo to pattern…

25.0.1 Colour still wrong
NOT AN IDEA—A BUG!
The colour settings are still incorrect in the newest update.
Totally unusable software, so back to version 24 again.The image on the right is correct from version 24. How that file displays in 25.0.1 is in the middle and the image on the left is the same jpeg as on the right imported into 25.0.1…!!!!
3 totally different interpretations of the same colour. Insane.

Appearance: Empty Stroke blocks Fill
When applying a colour to a selection, sometimes this has no effect. While both the Color and the Appearance panel reflect the chosen colour, the object doesn't.
Most of the time the (unlogical) cause seems to be a Stroke without colour.
When changing the order in Appearance to having the Fill on top, the colour appears.Please make an uncoloured stroke of no influence on underlying fills.

Recolor artwork modal panel stays in place
The new recolor art modal panel doesn’t remember it’s previous position and always appears in the center of my window. Is this expected ?
If it could be non modal and docked in my custom
UI I would appreciate too.3 votes -
'Edit Color Group' does not respect global or spot color swatches.
The 'edit color group' tool is a neat little palette explorer, but in practice I never use it because my workflow is centered around global swatches, and it completely ignores that.
Try this:
- Make a few global color swatches. Draw some shapes using them.
- Double-click on one of those swatches, play with the sliders, notice that everything drawn in it changes to match.
- Make those swatches into a color group.
- Select the color group and hit the 'Edit Color Group' button in the Swatches palette.
- Change some colors, hit OK, yes you do want to save your changes to the…

Freeform gradient locking spot color
If you use a spot color in a freeform gradient the swatch becomes locked, so you can't change the name or merge/delete the swatch.

Gradient Window Color Slider buggy, Selection area too small, adding color instead of selecting the color
After updating to 24.2. Gradient Window Color Slider buggy, Selection area too small, adding color instead of selecting the color. Then it doesn't allow the selection of the color because it wants to add a new color. When I keep trying to select the color it is showing a plus sign and will not allow me to select the color that is there.

Illustrator is changing my colors
I'm working on Interl(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU, Windows 10 Family. Latest version of Illustrator.
I put the right colors on my Artwork on illustrator but as soon as I save it and reopen it, the colors changed. It stays in a dark green but it's never exactly the one I put in the first place.
Example: I put #336633, save it. When I reopen it, it has changed in #006633 or 336733 ot 316738 or 356633 or even 40683c or 789c4a

Swatches not naming properly vs document color mode
I create my document in CMYK but when I open my swatches the first time (I have done no copying or pasting into the document or anything to mess with any color settings), they are CMYK blends with RGB names. Why is it doing that and what can I do to fix it?

Pasting a hexadecimal color code into the Fill or Stroke under properties > appearance occasionally causes Illustrator to freeze up
- MacOS 10.14.5 (18F132)
- Select an object (for example, a rectangle), in the properties panel, under the appearance heading, select either fill or stroke, and paste a hex code into the textbox at the bottom of the popup panel. Occasionally, this results in Illustrator freezing, and can only be fixed by force-quitting.
- It not to freeze
- It freezes

CC Library Colours automatically adding themselves to Swatches when used
Hey there,
My team and I have recently noticed an error occurring when using the CC Colour Library.
When selecting an object and then a CC registered colour, we get an error message that states: "A different colour with the same name already exists in your document. Please rename this colour to use it in this document."
What we have noticed is that the colour automatically adds itself to swatches the first time you use it in a new document and then this error pops up every time. As such, how can we disable this function so that this doesn't…

Adobe Color Themes pop up is unnecessary and obstructive.
When using the Adobe Color Themes panel, there's a pop up that says "Click to set active color" when you hover over color swatches. You can't click on the color beneath the pop up without first moving the mouse off of the pop up. It makes using the color themes panel slow and obnoxious. Please either move the location of the pop up off of the swatches one is trying to access, or remove it altogether (or give us an option to disable it)
Turning off "Show Tool Tips" in preferences doesn't fix the issue.
It is also an issue…

Appearance of Black Feature Not Working in Illustrator CC 2019
The "Appearance of Black" feature is not working after installing Illustrator CC 2019. I've tried to disable and re-enable the feature, however all blacks appear as rich black now. The document shown in the attached screenshot is in CMYK color mode. The black box on the left is 100% K only, the box to the right is C: 60%, M: 50%, Y: 50%, and K: 100%.
Previously 100% process black only would display as shown in the preferences window. I've tried to open an old document and create a new CMYK color mode document, however the 100% K looks rich…

Unable to click on colour swatches in colour guide panel with Wacom Intuos pen
It has been a couple of years now, and I still can't click on the swatches in the Colour Guide panel using my Wacom Intuos Pro Pen. It works fine if I'm using the touch setting to select the colour swatch but the pen will not allow me to select a swatch. I 3 pens and none of them allow me to do this. This issue has been ongoing with this tablet and pen and my previous one. I can't get a straight answer from Wacom or Adobe, they both claim it is the other that is at fault. No…
