Color Selection Question

Hi everyone!
I have a pretty basic but essential question about color selection in Illustrator.
1. I need to follow a specific style guide and was having no issues in InDesign with typing in CMYK values and and saving those colors.
2. In Illustrator, I have a CMYK mode doc and I opened the color panel and tried typing in these values that I need for a warm brown:
C13, M56, Y100 K1
3. However, instead of giving me the warm brown I need, it gives me a yellow ochre color that I don't want. It's like it overrides when I click ok. The only way I was able to get around this seemed to be to bring in a vector asset from the style gudie and eye-dropper it (very dumb process I know).
4. I did try hex code and it was the same issue.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I am on that I should click off?
Thank you for your help!
