Color looks different within a document in different page

Hi,
I created a square with a green stroke (RGB-0.255.0) that I had placed on different pages within a document.
On some pages, the green looks perfect and some other pages it looks like it is converted in CMYK, The green doesn't look the same.
Does anyone have an idea why?
Thanks

There's probably transparency of some sort on those pages and your transparency blend space is set to CMYK.

Colors look different in titler than on timeline

Colors look different in titler than on timeline. Here's a screen grab. The upper image is the program monitor and the lower image is the titler. Both are on the same monitor.
I guess it's a bug and I will report it but I wonder if anyone else is seeing this.

Split line/tone Pantone swatches of same color look different

QUESTION: In Illustrator I need to split a Pantone color into two different swatches (line and tone). When I duplicate the swatch and rename it with an "L" in front, the color looks different (with overprint preview)! Same CMYK values – I checked. I know it has something to do with how the swatch is named, because if I rename both swatches I don't have this problem. What's going on and how can I fix this?

John Danek wrote:
Not sure, but I would not recommend renaming Pantone Spot color swatches. What's the point? I mean, why would you mess with the names?
I think they wants to use one swatch for certain parts of elements like the stroke and and perhaps the other for fills but of different and not necessarily common paths.
Changing the name make it easier for them to know which is applied to the other. There coud be a reason to keep them separate and to have the names be different to make the work flow effiecient.
I think the reason is that since they are now two different swatches it treats it as two different inks one from the book and the other from a CMYK mix.
It simply does not recognize the second swatch as a book color which would have to be a second plate with the same ink.
You cannot rename a book color.
So unless you were planning to hit the piece with two plates with the same spot color what you want to do is not possible.
I can see where you want this but I see no way of fixing it except a feature request.
Perhaps placing the same swatch in two different color groups?

Colors look different in browser window than in InDesign or Photoshop

So, the colors look quite different (brighter) on Kuler (in
my Firefox browser window), than when I download or copy the CMYK
numbers exactly over to InDesign or Photoshop. In Kuler, the colors
are significantly brighter and more saturated than how they appear
in my design software.
My coworker theorizes that InDesign & Photoshop are
'compensating' for how the color will actually look when printed.
Thoughts? Is there a setting I need to change on either
Firefox or my Adobe software so the colors match up?

I have a similar problem - colours look brigher in Firefox,
IE and Photoshop, darker in Illustrator and Dreamweaver. I've tried
resetting the color settings in Bridge, but still get the same
difference between Photoshop, and Illustrator and Dreamweaver. I
can't understand this at all. I don't know if it has something to
do with the fact that I have a color profile called "Natural Color
Pro" installed on my computer (came with the monitor) which
Photoshop reminds me is faulty every time I open it - I tell it to
ignore the profile. I don't seem to be able to uninstall it for
some reason.

Pdf color looks different in preview and acrobat?

I notice that the colors in various PDF files I have look different in Preview and in Acrobat. Is there some weird color profile issue?
To be specific, I can create a PDF file in various ways, of a slide deck I originally created using Keynote. It has various different color blocks in the slides. In particular some acid green colors look very different depending on whether I open the PDF in Acrobat or in Preview.
Preview shows the colors as they were in the original keynote application. But Acrobat shows them far more muted.
I learned from another post that if I create the PDF by first saving to postscript and then creating the PDF using Acrobat, the issue seems to go away. However this is very inconvenient.
In short, it seems as though there is some peculiar difference between the way Preview and Keynote (and probably Pages ) handle color and the way Acrobat handles color.
Is there some way to fix this using some setting in one of the programs?
By the way, this is not a new problem. I noticed it with previous OS's as well as previous versions of Keynote. I am currently using the latest version of everything.

Same problem here. I was printing a PDF that my designer had sent me. Before I have always used Acrobat, but I've started using Preview in Leopard since it's faster and more powerful than before. But the colors were seriously wrong, often reversed completely. I believe this file was originally created in Illustrator.

Color Looks Different in Aperture Viewer Compared to Full Screen

The color in my photos looks different depending on how I view them. In Aperture's Viewer and in Photoshop Elements 6, it looks what I consider to be normal. In Aperture's Full Screen view, and in other applications such as Preview and Safari, the colors look super-saturated: much more vibrant than in real life.
The photos were imported into Aperture as JPEGs, directly from my camera. Previews are turned off in Aperture, and I have it set to export using sRGB. I'm using an external Dell display that's been calibrated with Spyder2 Express. Turning on Onscreen Proofing in Aperture (and trying different profiles) doesn't seem to change the display in the Viewer at all.
How can I make the color in the Viewer match the color in other applications? It's hard to edit when I can't accurately see what I'm doing.

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! I didn't know there was such a thing as a default display, but after setting that to the external the photos look good again.
I guess I wasn't using the right search terms, but after reading your reply I was able to find this huge thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394928&start=0&tstart=0
It seems to me that this is an OS bug, because the images were displaying incorrectly in Preview, Safari, etc. Each display has been calibrated and has a ColorSync profile, and the OS knows which display the window is on, so it should be able to figure out which profile to use.

2 files with exact the same PMS color look different

I was working on a print project for my company and all files are created in Illustrator CC. Here is the confusing part, in this logo color file I found from the company inside files, the PMS color code actually matches the CMYK color code, and they look exactly the same on screen:
But on all the files I'm working on, the PMS color looks washed, when using the convert button to convert PMS to CMYK, the code looks different too:
Is there a file color setting I need to change? Besides illustrator, the PMS color in Photoshop cc and InDesign cc all look wash out.

The Color Mode of the swatch only impacts how the the color appears on your monitor. The important thing is that the Color Type always be "Spot Color" regardless of the Color Mode when you're dealing with files for print. If it's set to Spot Color, then exporting the file to film will have a single color pass. If it's set to Process Color you'll get 1-4 color passes when exporting depending on your CMYK values.
For the company's branding guide, you have both color options depending on how the logo will be printed. If you had something that included a photo, then you would want to use the CMYK version of the logo because you're already going to have CMYK values from the photo. Using an additional spot color just for the logo then makes it a 5-color job, thus increasing the cost. If you were printing something that only used black for text and also included the logo, then you would use the PMS version as this makes it a 2-color print job.
In some circumstances you don't have an option of a CMYK break of a PMS color, such as metallics and fluorescents. Some companies only print their logo in a spot color despite having it as part of a 4-color print just due to how a CMYK version of their logo appears. Not every PMS color has a 100% accurate CMYK break. Most frequently the CMYK version is dull compared to the PMS color simply because the gamut for CMYK is not as diverse as the full range of PMS colors are.

Pages vs PDF: Colors look different in the print out

I'm currently creating some templates for letters in pages and I encountered irregularities when printing directly from pages versus printing the PDF from Acrobat.
This is the workflow:
I created the Logo in Adobe Illustrator CS4 using CMYK color definition. After saving a JPEG or EPS I inserted the logos in my Pages document. Then I exported the document as PDF with maximum quality.
What happens now is, that the printed PDF looks closer to the original Illustrator logo (JPEG and EPS). When printed directly in Pages, the color shifts to a much brighter and very different Blue.
What can I do to get the same results when printing from the two programms?

Colors look differently in final sequence

Hello,
I imported a image logo with colors in LiveType to make a title. When I rendered the movie the final sequence had the colors come out differently. I had a dark bleu of sky that became more light and a "bordeau" (in frenche) red that became more pinkish. Is there some color setting i have to do ?
Thanks for reading !

This isn't easy in Live Type.
Assuming you know the RGB values of the logo before creating your LT enhancement you might have some luck.
If you control-click on the little color box in the Inspector's Attributes Tab then it will display a color spectrum that shows you RGB values. You can click on the correct value by moving the eyedropper around and then save that color, by dragging it to one of the palette boxes beneath the crayon box. This is really tedious work to get an exact match.

Why do colors look different in PDF saved from Powerpoint with glow?

When I save a Microsoft Powerpoint (2008 for Mac) Presentation as PDF, then view the PDF with Preview (application on Mac) it looks right.
But when I view it with Adobe Reader, the color is off (it looks dim like there is a gray screen over it) on any page with glow.
? Can anyone tell me why this happens, or how I can get the colors to look the same as the original Powerpoint?
Thank you!
Carey

You use Microsoft Office programs to save the docs as PDFs? If so, no Adobe software is involved; you should ask in the appropriate Microsoft Office forum.

Color Looks Different In Bridge

I just updated to Windows Vista Ultimate on a 64-bit machine. I have an Eizo CE240W monitor and calibrate with Gretag-Macbeth's Eye-One.
I was processing my first job and noticed a huge difference in the way the photos looked in Bridge than they did in in ACR and Photoshop.
The colors in bridge are much more saturated and red.
I've synchronized my color settings (my default RGB is ProPhoto RGB).
So, I'm guessing that Bridge renders thumbnails and previews in some other color space (sRGB maybe?).
Any workflow tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Lincoln

Hi Rob,
The photos are RAW converted to DNG and I shoot my camera in Adobe RGB. But, in ACR, I set the default color space to ProPhoto RGB. When the photos open up in Photoshop, they look the way I wanted them to and like they did in ACR.
If I run image processor and convert the RAW files to sRGB JPEGs, they look like the Bridge preview, not like they did in ACR. But if I open the sRGB JPEG and the original RAW file in Photoshop, they look pretty close once they are in Photoshop together.
The difference is in Bridge. The colors are not being displayed accurately. I'm wondering if it's Adobe setting or a Windows setting that causing the issue (I'm on Vista now).
So, I think Bridge is displaying in sRGB, but when you open a file up in ACR and Photoshop, it displays in ProPhoto RGB. The difference is pretty significant and it would be great to have the photos look similar in Bridge and Photoshop. Maybe if I switch to Adobe RGB, I'll have better luck.
Peter, I'm using CS3 with the latest upgrades.
Thanks for posting to my thread!

Problem with sending clips from after effects to premiere. Color looks different. Any advice? Can't link. 4k raw in premiere and 40 layers per clip in ae. Can't handle it.

There's a definite color difference from Premiere to ae. I'm using cineform files as alphas from ae to put back over the clips in Premiere as a layer. The problem is the color doesn't match like it did in ae and the mask and all that seem funky. Anyone experience this or have ideas?

Site layout and color looks different in each browser

I created a site. When I preview the site in firefox it is just the way I created it in dreamweaver cs5, but when I preview it in IE the background color is not the pinkish color I used, it is black and the subheading is crunched up to the left and not the right. Also, in google crome browser, it is perfect except there is a huge gap of space from the bottom of the page to the footer (It shouldn't have margins but the margin is very large). The site is for a client (escort-personal), I hope that someone will be able to help/lead in the right direction.

I see a black background in IE, no doubt caused by truncated #hex color codes in the markup. Remove the table cell BGColors from your html markup.
Add this to your CSS code:
td {background: #993300}
FYI, table-based layouts are very old school. You should be learning to work with CSS Layouts.

Are color settings stored within indesign documents

Good day!
I might have done a more thorough search, but as we use Indesign in a non-english version I may have problems there anyway, so if the issue has been addressed previously could someone please point me to a pertinent thread?
Anyway, our problem is this:
A customer provided indd-files and we populated it with rgb-images of various spaces (ECI RGB v2, which is our RGB working space, and Adobe RGB) and exported x-1a pdfs.
Those pdfs showed erroneous separation for the Adobe RGB-files.
Our Color Settings are set to Preserve Embedded Profiles for RGB-mismatches.
But newly imported RGB-files seem to always get set to Document Space in those documents.
So the indd-files seem to maintain the Color Management Policies of the application as of the time of its creation and disregard the current settings.
Can this be remedied for those files?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thanks a lot.
Exporting an idml did not do the trick for me.
»if you enable the mismatch warnings (and I think you should), you are prompted and given the opportunity to overide the embedded policy.«
I usually have those turned off to be able to have the programm open multiple files of different spaces un-attended.
But your recommendation is appreciated and indeed seems to be the (only) way to go here.
And embarassingly I had forgot to mention in the original post: Indesign 7.0.4, OSX 10.6.7
