Illustrator changes the same color from fill to stroke

I just have to move the color from fill to stroke and despite of it is the same color than happens this

As you can see the stroke is lighter than the fill and I don't understand why. I checked the opacity panel and no opacity value changed, all the values are the same as for the fill.

How can I fix that ?

I'm working on Win 7 , CC 2017

    I had this problem as well. I managed to solve it via art brush options and the label "Method" has a dropdown, go choose Hue shift. Hope it works.

    "Hue Shift" will give you an even bigger change for a color. Most of the time this is happening because the color of the brush shape is not true pitch dark black.

    Well there are just the same fill and stroke in the appearance panel, nothing different . I wrote you because was faster than take screenshots this time. Layers panel the same, nothing anomalous

    Definitely not. THat's not a simple stroke. It's a brush or a variable width stroke or maybe there's something applied via the layers panel. So can you show it please?
