How to make sure colors in Illustrator can be reproduced for web?

[paulines001]

Hi!

I have to design some icons for a website. I want to make sure that the colors of the icons in Illustrator will be displayed the same way on the website. The color mode of the Illustrator file is RGB. The settings for each color are displayed in the screenshot below (Proces color, global, color mode: RGB).

My question is if I need to click on the square (says that color is out of gamut) next to the color to correct it to a version suitable for web? Or are the colors automatically suitable for web, because the document is set in RGB?

Thanks!

You're right that's because it's already RGB, it's automatically suitable. "Out of gamut" means that the colour can't be shown in PRINT, if you were to print it using CMYK.

Work in sRGB (not Adobe RGB or anything else). Everything you choose is then shown as some kind of colour on the web. Not necessarily the same colour, nobody can make that happen.
