Copy & Paste from one Illustrator File to Another Affects Gradient

Hi all,

I am struggling with cutting an object from illustrator (a circle with light globes around it emitting light in the form of a gradient) and posting it into another illustrator file.

When I cut/copy the object and paste it into the new illustrator file with existing artwork, the gradient of the pasted item is altered. It shows as much lighter, I have included below for you to see.

If anyone could help provide some advice on how to successfully cut a vector object with multiple gradients from one illustrator file to another it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Is the color mode the same in both documents?

Im having this issue but mine are the same color mode and only a few elements are being effected and some are not. The whay they are filled is changing.

^^This is what I have, too. Both same format/size, both CMYK FOGRA39. All grain textures are destroyed after copy & paste - unusable. How can that be???

Hello @EXECdesign,

Could you share more details, like the version of the OS/Illustrator installed, screenshots/a screen recording of the problem, and a link to a sample file after uploading it to a file sharing service, so I can check it on my end?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Do you have the same color on both?
