Color Issue

Hello,

I'm having an issue with my colors. And no, it's not a color management skill issue. My original file displays the colors I used. When I duplicate the same file, my colors suddenly change. They go from vibrant to dull. I made sure my colors were correct. Same RGB/HEX values. Both files are set to RGB. What kind of sorcery is this, Adobe? I haven't tried to export. I'm hoping the colors look the same. Regardless, this issue is annoying. Please see the images below. Same color, same RGB/HEX, set to RGB. All I want is for the colors to match. AGAIN, it's not a color management skill issue. It's an Adobe issue. Let me know what's going on here.

Thank you,

Unhappy Adobe Subscriber

Do both files have the same Document Color Profile?

You can check that using Edit > Assign Profile... or turning the show profile option on at the bottom of your window.

Thank you! That worked. I duplicated the original file, though. Why did it change on its own?

Unfortunately sometimes the Document Color Profile can change silently when creating a new file by opening an image, or by dragging a screendump or dragging a file from Photoshop to an Illustrator document.
