Hello,

I have this problem of not showing true color.

Here is how the yellow looks in normal view

Here is how the yellow looks in overprint preview

I went from Windows to MacOS and on win never had this weird behaviour. Colors always looked like in Overprint preview.

It seems that Color Profiles and spaces doesn’t have any impact on it.

Thank you guys, for guesses.

I found solution:

View > View using CPU

instead of "View using GPU"

Now, colors are displayed correctly.

And there is a thing, when I open Illustrator the Intel version from Creative Cloud, there is no problem with displaying correct colors via GPU preview.

I think there is problem with Apple Sillicion version.

Do you have multiple monitors? If so does it look the same on both?

Yeah it does.

Is it a spot color? Does it have Overprint assigned?

It is not, look at the screenshot from InDesign, it does the same. In normal view everything seems desaturated. After i hit Overprint view, everything looks normal as original images.
