Illustrator displaying CMYK colours as RGB

[camillaa4315670]

When working in Illustrator in CMYK color mode, the colors appear as RGB. It is only when I export the file that I can see the true CMYK colors. Why would this be? Is there any way to fix this so I can work in the actual CMYK colors in the document?

How does your Edit > Color Settings... look?

And what is your Document Color Profile?

Thanks for your reply 🙂 I've attached my color settings here as well as the Document Profile:

How is the soft proof set up?

[camillaa4315670]

Good question! How do I check the soft proof? 🙂 

[Monika Gause]

It's in the View menu.

Like this? 🙂 

[Monika Gause]

Yes, that is the setting. Is the Proof turned on or off?

Can you please describe exactly what is happening? What makes you think thatn something is displayed the wrong way? What is it? Your colors assigned in Illustrator or is it a photo that is displayed wrong?

[Ton Frederiks]

Thanks, that looks fine, that should not be the problem...
