Hey!
Im working on some scientific figures and would like the color of my graphs to match. I start by grabbing the color i want from one file using the dropper tool, wrote down the hex code as well as the rbg and cymk parameters. I now went over to another graph i want to change the color of, which is in a separate AI file. Using the "Edit Color" - "recolor artwork" and advanced option, i tried to change the color of the graph to the one i wanted using the parameters i wrote down. When i enter the parameters the color seems to briefly show as the one i want in the color changing menu, but once I click "ok" the color does not change at all.
I have used the edit colors of artwork options many times previously without problems, but with this specific document i do not know what is happening. I tried to make a new file and copy the graph over into the new one to make a new attempt to change colors. Same results.
I added some snippets of the colors in question.
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you want to use an RGB color in an CMYK document.
