Question

PMS colour changes from 1 file to another.

I am working on different lable packages and I've noticed that some PMS colours are drastically shifting from one file to another. I can not figure out what is different between these two files.

 

Below is an example of the colour shift from 1 file to another.

Any idea why this is happening? It's driving me mad!

Yes, still spot. PMS 802. I copy and paste from 1 file to another. Exactly the same colour swatch.

Sorry, I sould have mentioned that the colour swatch showing is PMS 802 C. The light green is from the old file and when I paste it into a new file, it's much darker.

Hmm, the lab colours are different between the old file and new file (see below).

But why are they changing when I copy and paste?
