How to achieve this colour in illustrator?

[Fabianoo]

Hi all!

I created this file with the specific colour in Canva. Anyone knows how to achieve the same colour in illustrator? I copied the colour code but it doesnt look the same. 

Thanks!

Can you share a screenshot with us to better understand the situation?

Hi Michael,

I've already attached the screenshot. Please take a look!

Thanks!

Okay. Have you verified that the "document color mode" is RGB?

[Fabianoo]

I believe Canva uses RGB and the code is #00F7FF.

I'm talking about illustrator. Try changing the document color mode to RGB to see what it does.

Just remember, your bright cyan RGB colour is out of gamut for other processes, so if your intent is to use your work only for the screen, that's okay, but if you intend to print this, you cannot achieve that colour in CMYK, and in fact, what you were seeing before is the closest CMYK version of it. It's always a good idea to "soft proof " what your colours will look like on a CMYK device: ...

Under View > Proof Setup, select the Working CMYK profile (this is set in your Color Settings... I just used US Web Coated as an example). Turn on Proof Colors. You can then see what you can possibly achieve on a printed page.

This would have happened in Canva as well. If you had printed that Canva document, it would have dulled down as well.
