Illustrator 25.2.1 GPU/CPU Preview change the colors

When I use GPU preview - colors change to brighter and juicier, and when I use CPU preview - colors change to not bright and faded.

In both cases, colors are false and not reliable to reality. (If compare with macOS preview for example)

Also, colors in Palettes always shown like in CPU preview, so if you work in GPU preview, you can't see any relations colors in your artboard with colors on palettes.

macOS Big Sur 11.2.3

Illustrator 25.2.1

AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB

Edit: Simple updating to the most recent versions corrects the problem.

You will still need to check your color settings after that.

It looks like the latest Photoshop update is causing the problem.

Use the CC app to revert Photoshop to the Previous version (22.2.0) and then change your Color Settings to what you want it to be.

Hi, This did not work for me. I 'downgraded' to 22.2.0 and illustrator still has inaccurate colors in GPU view and relatively accurate colors with CPU. See the images below. However, performance in CPU view is terrible. Adobe, if you're listening, the "correct answer" above did nothing for me. Please help.

This problem was solved by an update, month ago.

You have a different problem, please start a new thread and show your color settings.

Same issue since the update. I'm about to send a million things to print but very unsure if it'll print correctly. Adobe, can you help please? Urgently!
