Only the "Web Safe RGB" on the color panel cannot be taken in action

Hi there,

I want to switch the display mode of the color panel with action.

CMYK, RGB, HSB, and Web safe RGB.

I thought it went well. However, only Web-safe RGB does not respond to execution even if it is recorded.

Is it a bug? Or is it just a Japanese environment?

Regards.

I can also confirm the unexpected behaviour in the English and German version of Illustrator.

While it should work of course, it's pretty astonishing that you're still going to use the web save colour palette today since it's been rather obsolete for about a quarter of a century.

Do you still have to use it for some reason?

By the way, you can call the default 216 web colours library with an action (see Window menu > Swatch Libraries > Web).

Kurt,

In fact, I've rarely used WebSafeRGB, but that's because I got a request from an acquaintance during the development of the CEP extension I'm distributing.

Looks like a bug, I can replicate it.

OMG...

It seems that the only way is to develop plug-ins.
