Open an Illustrator File whith same set up

[Maxime5E71]

Hello, 

A designer sent me an Illustrator file and when I open it, I don't have the same colours as she does. It is similar but not the same RGB, HSL. 

I don't know how to change that. 

Thank you

It's definately an AI file and not pdf?

[Maxime5E71]

Yes it is AI file.

I would first turn on the warning checkboxes about profiles in your Edit > Color Settings.

They will alert you about color profiles that are different from yours and suggest solutions.

That's what she has (Screenshot 1)  and what I have (Screenshot 2)

Sorry, here it is:

I can see differences, are these CMYK documents?

And can you show your Edit menu  > Color Settings?

[Maxime5E71]

The one she sent me is RGB. I guess my parameters have to be set up. Here is a screenshot of my color settings. It is in spanish but I think you will understand.

Your Color Settings are set to Colomatch RGB as working space, can be good for images but probably not used by the designe who sent you the file.

Is there a reason your Color Management Policies are Off for RGB and CMYK?

[Maxime5E71]

No there is no special reason. I just tried different things to resolve my problem.. 

Which parameters would you recommend?

[Ton Frederiks · Accepted solution]

I would go for one of the general presets for Europe or US if you are unsure.

Turn on the Color Management Policies checkboxes to get warnings and suggestions for a solution when mismatches are happening.

You can also ask the designer what profile was used.

[Maxime5E71]

It worked by changing my profile (the same as the designer used). 

Thank you very much !!

[Ton Frederiks]

Good to hear that worked.
