Hello,

I've experienced something wich appears like a bug in Illustrator since a few updates and now a few weeks. When I'm working under Illustrator, every colors are previewed in CMYK, even if my Document is setup in RGB, in preview Pixel , Default. My color mode is always in RGB but the preview still is in CMYK. Then, I need to export in JPEG to see how's the document rendering in RGB. That's impossible to work with. Here are screens.

PS: I've already tried Reinstalling, resetting or changing every color mode.

Here is in illustrator :

Here is in Photoshop :

Here is one exported with illustrator in JPEG :

Here are all my color settings :

Did you create a new document based on an Art & Illustration preset?

Hi. Go to the View menu and ensure that Proof Colours is not enabled.

You indirectly helped me a lot in my problem.

Proof colours wasn't enabled, I tried to enable it and it didn't change anything, which surprised me.

I went by curiosity in "Proof Setup", I was in setup "Legacy Macinstosh RGB Gamma 1.8" wich was pretty incorrect so I switched back to "Monitor RGB". I enabled the Proof Setup and at this point, I was in RGB.

Things is, I've tried multiple times to create new document in RGB, so I don't understand why Illustrand is still launching them in CMYK.

At least now I can work in RGB, thank you for that !
