Hi I got a question. I don't use Illustrator often but I need to animate a design out of illustrator for work. 

I hope my explanation makes sense. 

 

I made a new AI document and made multiple layers with the design, but the colors are not matching anymore. If I try to paste the original design into the new AI document I get to see this image. (translation: Are you sure u want to change the colors into a target document with a color profile that doesn't match the current RGB-workspace?) 

 

If I try to copy the color code it still doesn't work if I paste it onto the other objects. 

 

 

The colors I want: 

 

 

The colors I get:

It looks like "Display" is your RGB color profile in your color settings. A monitor color profile is not a good working space.

Can you show your color settings?

sRGB is a beteer editing space, especially when the target is web. 

If you want your current document to be an sRGB document; Edit > Assign Profile > sRGB

Thanks a lot! I changed the color settings to sRGB and the colors changed immediately to how I want them.
