HI All,

I thought I would post here for answers first before reaching out to adobe. I have searched for answers on the internet, with no real result. I am having issues with the color changing when I import a .AI file to After Effects. The Document color mode is RGB. I created RGB swatches for each color and applied to the shape of the logo. I have Assigned Profile Working RGB: sRGB IE61966-2. Attached is an image from Illustrator (1) and an image from After Effects (2). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Try going to the menu File / Project Settings ... / Color and choose the same color profile.

    Boring standard answer: Arbitrarily assigning color spaces and profiles does nothing unless you actually work with full color management. That's basically your answer there. You are messing this up somewhere by not using the same settings and not using e.g. the correct proof preview in AI. Even the automatic gamut correction in AI's color mixer could be at fault here, if you create your alleged RGB colors using CMYK or HSB sliders. I would suggest you leave this be and just use a non-profile dependent workflow by resetting all settings to their defaults and relying on the monitor only.

      I also found this link for future color management.
