Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. This is expected behavior in Illustrator if you are using a "Plastic Shading" Surface option. In addition to the suggestion shared above by @Mylenium, you may try choosing the "No Shading" Surface option. If this doesn't help, you may update your Illustrator to the latest. I hope it helps!

Let us know if you need any further assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

In order to implement that solution you don't need to upgrade.

Simply sounds like you are working in CMYK mode and have no color management instated, hence of course the on-screen rendering will be corrected based on wrong assumptions. Start by making sure you are actualyl working in RGB mode. You may also want to educate yourself about some basics of CM at least like how to use proof previews and configure default profiles.

Thanks . But I changed the color settings to RGB and nothing changed . I mean , I tried to create new letter and see if it changes and it did not. I do not wanna delete whole project that I spent so much time on.those topics you mentioned was good but in this case it did not solve my issue.

Please show screenshots.

Are you working in RGB or CMYK document color space?

How is color management set up?

Exactly how do you export and exactly where does it look grey? In Illustrator?

I do not wanna show screenshots cause of privacy , sorry and copyright. I had to change the whole design . I had to eliminate choosing outline and in objects tab making any change.I had to make 2D format and just simply extrude it . Adobe gives us hard time for a simple design. Jesus.
