Color in illustrator is dull

Question

Hi! I can't quite find anything in the forums that will work for this

The other day I reset my illustrator settings when watching a tutorial and since then I have not been able to get illustrator colors to work correctly. They look dull

I've look at my color mode i'm in RGB

I've also gone to color settings and made sure i was in north america general 2

What else can I do here? Here's an example below of how it's muting my colors. It also does this if I try to use the eyedrop tool on a bright color, it will give me a more muted version of that color. Please help!!!!

Got it! It also says RGB! I'm a bit stumped

Hello @tatum5C41,

Sorry to hear about this experience. Kindly calibrate your display for sRGB by following the steps shared in this help article (https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchlp1109/12.0/mac/12.0), restart your computer, and then try using Illustrator.

Please update this thread if the issue persists or if you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Anubhav
