Color Shift between EPS/IA Files and Illustrator UI

[mikey_likes_it]

Why does Illustrator change the color of the rulers and make the artwork darker when you compare the exact same file side-by-side when one is an EPS file and the other is an AI file? The attachments show the difference that happens in the UI as well as the artwork. Each has the exact same color profiles / document color mode / GPU mode / document raster settings. For all accounts, the files are the same, but something is making this color shift. The Top is the EPS file (darker UI and artwork). The Bottom is the AI file (lighter UI and artwork).

So these are RGB files?

Which options when you saved them?

Do the color values change as well? Or just the visual?

Is this just with one file? Or all?

Yes, these are RGB files. Click on the images to view close up info. Yes, color values are shifting as well. What other screens do you need to see to compare between these two files?

Your screenshots don't show the options you chose when creating the EPS files. So please tell us.

I didn't create these files. But what I can show you are the color settings, etc. I just need to know the screens you need to see without going through a specific saving path.
