Colours are incorrect in Adobe Illustrator 2025

Hi @Impression Sandbox,

Thanks for reaching out and for sharing that visual, it really helps illustrate the issue.

From what you described, it sounds like the color shift may be related to the document color mode or color profile mismatch between the source and destination files. Illustrator can behave this way when, for example, you're copying elements from a CMYK document into an RGB one, or vice versa, which can result in unexpected color changes like white appearing slightly grey.

Could you please confirm whether the issue occurs across all files or only when pasting into certain documents? It would also be helpful to know your exact Illustrator version of 2025 (like 29.6, 29.5.1, etc.), macOS version and if color management settings like color profiles are active in either document. You can check this under Edit > Color Settings.

If you're able to share the files (or even a screen recording showing your steps), that would help us reproduce this more accurately. Feel free to upload via a public sharing service or send it via DM if the content is confidential.

Looking forward to your update.
