Color Showing incorrectly

Hey Everyone - I am having issues with colors being displayed incorrectly in Illustrator 2024. 

 

The long bar is what I am seeing in Illustrator, and the smaller bar is how it should look (taken in photoshop)

 

The file is in CMYK and the color codes match in both docs. When I save as a PDF, it also looks fine, it's only when in Illustrator the color is not displaying correctly. This is for all colors too - not just blue!

 

I have installed and reinstalled Illustrator and reset all. my preferences and that has not helped. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is the Document Color Profile the same in both Illustrator and Photoshop documents?

You can show them in both apps at the bottom of your window.

Thank you for your reply! I don't have that option in illustrator?

The problem is, that it's only displaying he color wrong in illustrator, the colors are correct when saved as a PDF, it's just in Illustrator where the color is off!

You have that option too, it shows Toggle Direct Selection in your screendump, just select it from the fly-out menu.
