Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another??  I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker.  I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too.  I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut).  I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

  • Why does the same song apear as $0.99 and $1.29?

    Why does the same song appear more than once and costs either $0.99 or $1.29?

    Sometimes the exact same song will have two different prices when it appears on two different albums.
    For one of many examples, "Concrete Angel" is 99 cents when it's on "Greatest Hits":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/greatest-hits/id256344266
    But it is $1.29 when it is on the album "Hits and More":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hits-and-more/id492676107
    The reason is not obvious, but feel free to buy the cheaper one.

  • Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

    I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop.  Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other?  Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background?  Thanks.
    Loni

    You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

  • Why does my quicktime player verson 10.2 somtimes read avi files and other times it wont recognize them?

      Why does my quicktime player version 10.2 sometimes read AVI video and other times it will not recognize that same file. I have a video card that sometimes it will read then the next time it recognizes the card but will not open the video. Message says "quicktime does not recognize this file.
    Whats up with that ??? Any help will be most appreciated!

    AVI is a container just like MKV, WMV, MOV, and MPEG. It is possible to use many different compression formats aka. codecs in an AVI container.
    Think of the container - AVI as being an envelope, and the compressed video in it as a letter. The letter may be in a language you cannot read even though you know how to open the envelope.
    Historically QuickTime did have some built-in ability to use AVI files and some formats in those files, this used to be further improved by installing the free Perian (for Mac only). However with Mavericks Apple have removed the ability for QuickTime X aka. QuickTime Player 10 to use AVI files, it now really only accepts MPEG4 or H.264.
    It is still possible to install QuickTime 7.6.6 in Mavericks and if you use it and Perian rather than QuickTime X you can still use various AVI files.
    Note: Mavericks also now no longer shows previews or thumbnails for AVI files for the same reason.

  • Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

    Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll?????  If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

  • Why does the same genre appear multiple times in my iPhone 6 music library?

    I am currently running on iOS8. All software on my iPhone 6 is up to date. I have tried restarting with no change. There are many instances that I see online of people who are having this same problem, only it applies to specific music albums. Not an entire genre. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this? My last ditch effort will probably be a factory reset.

    I have the same situation.  It seems to happen with the first two or three genre's.  Even manually created ones that I've made.  It also seems to be related to having a mixture of song's under that genre that are either uploaded  (from a CD) and downloaded from iTunes.
    I had one artist that all albums were upload from a CD except one.  If I add all the CD albums the genre only appears once.  As soon as I add the album from iTunes the genre appears twice.  And vice-versa.  The particular genre is one that I made, but it happens with predefined iTunes genre's as well.
    Please fix it apple.

  • Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

    I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

  • Why does the same clip play differently each time I play it?

    Playing a flash animation clip in Adobe Media Player plays differently each time I play it.  I'm looking at animation we made that has a left to right move.  Sometimes it plays smoothly, other times it stutters, but the stutters happen at different points each time I play it, and the amount of stuttering changes each time I play it.  I'm trying to decide if the file is acceptable to post on the web, so I'm playing the same 34 second file from my hard drive, each time in succession, yet each play is different.  Boy, if you can help me with this I would sure appreciate it, as it is driving me crazy.  (The same thing happens on other flash players).  And no, the file isn't haunted...

    Hello and thank you for trying to help me out. When I click on the itunes icon on my desktop, it does the preparing to install.... on my laptop, when I click on the icon, itunes opens automatically. I really can't figure out why one does this and the other does not.
    Apparently, I was not having trouble connecting to the itunes store like I thought. Many other people complain of the same problem I had---the connecting to the itunes store progress bar goes halfway, stops, and then all I see is a blank white page that says itunes store. Well, after playing around, and clicking on VIEW and SHOW sidebar browser, I was able to see the itunes store! Yay!! It was so simple, it was unreal that so many people are having the same problem I thought I was having, connecting, when all that was was a VIEW issue.
    As far as my desktop doing the preparing to install, I don't get it. I have uninstalled itunes9 and redownloaded it, reinstalled it. Same problem. Preparing to install. No matter what itunes icon I click on, or even if I click ont he application itself from it's folder. Any ideas?
    So just forget about my connection problem---it was not a problem after all. Yet one pc does preparing to install when the itunes icon is clicked on, and the other pc does not. Both are running windows vista home premium. One is a desktop, one a laptop. I can't figure it out.

  • Why does the properties menu not appear with the templates?

    Hi,
    This is a bit hard to explain but maybe someone will get it.
    If you draw a div on your deisgn window 'draw AP div' then
    click somewhere on that div again, in the design window, then you
    get a list of properties at the bottom such as width, height, top,
    left, z-index etc....ok.
    Now if i load the '3 column hybrid header and footer
    template' and click on any div on the deisgn window of this
    template then i dont get this properties menu at the bottom. The
    width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if that matters.
    Now i am thinking there is a fundmental difference betwee the
    divs in the template than drawing a div using the 'draw AP div'
    tool.??
    It's kinda of like the templates are using pure css whereas
    the AP div is a mixture, ok i am sure i am WAY of the mark here and
    this is just a little thing. Can someone explain?
    thanks for any advice!

    > Now if i load the '3 column hybrid header and footer

    > on
    > any div on the deisgn window of this template then i

    > properties

    That's because the div *you* created was Absolutely
    Positioned, and there is
    a specific inspector for absolutely positioned elements. But
    the divs in
    the 3-column hybrid header and footer are NOT absolutely
    positioned and so
    you do not get the special inspector. If you are not sure
    about the
    difference between absolutely positioned and non-positioned
    elements, then
    you would be well advised to NOT use absolute positioning
    until you do. It
    will create big problems for you if you ignore this.
    > The width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if
    that matters.
    That makes the container expand in width as the font size is
    expanded by the
    visitor, which is what is meant by the 'hybrid' term in the
    sample file's
    name.
    > Now i am thinking there is a fundmental difference
    betwee the divs in the
    > template than drawing a div using the 'draw AP div'
    tool.??
    Yes, definitely. This may help you understand positioning a
    bit -
    There are 4 different types of positioning:
    Absolute
    Relative
    Fixed
    Static
    Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
    regard to
    placement of elements on the page only)....
    Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
    This does several things -
    1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
    the page so that
    it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
    page element
    (except for those contained within it, of course).
    2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
    the position of
    its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
    absence of any explicitly
    positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
    which is always
    positioned
    at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
    This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
    layer's code
    appears (between <body> and </body>), its
    location on the screen will not
    change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
    element within
    a table or another A/P element, of course).
    Furthermore, the space in
    which
    this element would have appeared were it not positioned
    is not preserved
    on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
    don't take
    up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
    Position:relative (or R/P elements)
    In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
    page element is
    *not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
    it will use the
    spot
    where it would have appeared based on its position in
    the code as its
    zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
    bottom, or left
    positions
    to the style for this element, those values will be
    used as offsets from
    its
    zero point.
    This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
    relatively positioned
    element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
    (factoring in
    the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
    the code).
    Furthermore, the space where this element would have
    appeared is
    preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
    placement of
    succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
    positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
    Position:static
    As with relative position, static positions also "go with
    the flow". An
    element with a static position cannot have values for
    offsets (top, right,
    left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
    explicitly
    positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
    Position:fixed
    A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
    content scrolls.
    Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
    quirky
    There are several other things you need to know:
    1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
    images, lists,
    etc.
    2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
    if it is not
    positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
    begin on a new
    line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
    new line below
    it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
    container (i.e.,
    width:100%).
    3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
    other
    elements
    on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
    will mask that
    hyperlink.
    You can see a good example of the essential difference
    between absolute and
    relative positioning here -
    http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layersdemo.asp
    You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
    page layout tool
    is dangerous here -
