Thank you all for the replies...I am selecting the rectangle and it seems like there is only one fill. When i change the cmyk values and press enter ans select back the rectangle and check the colors, i see that the original color codes are not changed.

don't know why?

Can you show the entire content of the appearance panel?

Thanks, that looks normal. What happens if you select the object and click the fill color in the appearance panel, can you change the color?


the result is the same 😞

Have a look at the Appearance panel with the object selected, there may be multiple fills withe wrong one selected, or there may be a fill applied to the layer.

Which version and which system is it?

When you just want to change the color of something, why don't you just use the color panel?

Did you select the rectangle? Make sure you are in preview mode?

 

If you need more help, maybe post a screenshot of your entire screen. We could then for example exclude the 2 suggestions I made.
