Colors are Dull in Illustrator Despite it being in RBG mode

[Willard Jenkins]

I've asked this question many times in the past and usually the fix is the same. However, this time my document is on RGB and for some reason my colors are still dull or not accurate to what I am looking for. What else could be causing dull colors?

I had a look at the color 22BC22 in your last screenshot, that seems to be the correct sRGB color.

[Willard Jenkins]

Which green? I just checked on imagecolorpicker.com and all greens in this screenshot are different. Haven't been able to use illustrator at all should i repost or contact customer service? I need this for work and none of the colors are accurate 

[Ton Frederiks]

I put a  22BC22 rectangle on top of your screenshot.

What is your document color profile (at the bottom of your window)?

Actually I was on the wrong document. It says "Display Based" which may be the reason. Where can I change this?

[Ton Frederiks]

You can change the profile with Edit > Assign Profile... 

[Willard Jenkins]

The issue seems to continue still despite the profile change

[Ton Frederiks]

Can you show your Edit > Color Settings... ?

[Ton Frederiks]

That looks ok (I would advise to turn on the warnings for profile mismatches and missing profiles).

Does it also happen if you copy the content in a new document?

Do you have multiple monitors and does it change when you move your document onto another one?

[Willard Jenkins]

So I screenshot the first artboard with the issue and created a new file/artboard and the colors are mismatched. I also tried going to the other monitor but the issue persists.

[Willard Jenkins]

I assume the brighter green is the color its suppose to be

[Ton Frederiks]

Actually none of these look like the color I see in my color picker and the hex color pickers on the web. It should look more like your screendump of your color picker (where you said The issue seems to continue still despite the profile change)

[Willard Jenkins]

Is there a video or place you can link me to where I can get this properly set up? Maybe I've been using the wrong color settings all this time.

[Ton Frederiks]

I am afraid there is no free tutorial or help file that guides  you through the setup.

There are LinkIn training videos and there is this help file: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/keeping-colors-consistent.html

Your current settings look ok (I would advise to turn on the warnings for profile mismatches and missing profiles). And the color you specified is the color I get and the color that you will see in websites that let you create hex colors. It may not be the bright color you want, but specifying another hex color can solve that.
