Change colour swatch value in CC Library

I have saved colour swatches into my CC library, and I will be using the colours in various documents.

However, I have not yet confirmed the colour, and if I would at a later stage change the colour value of that swatch, can I change it in the CC library and automatically have it change throughout the documents?

Looks like to me it's not going to work. Anyway to get round this?

    There is no way for CC libraries to link colors. Don't add colors to the library until they are final.

      I've added a swatch (that is final) but the RGB / Hex / CMYK isn't consistent with colour guide info. 

       

      In RGB space it is fine, along with the hex. But teh CMYK is out. If I amend the CMYK I change the HEX and RGB. Why is this happening?

      CMYK 100/56/0/29

      RGB 0/80/181

      HEX 0050b5

       

      Those look like the Adobe Color web conversions, which unfortunaely are just not very useful.

      Also 0|80|181 is well out-of-gamut to any CMYK space so there is no CMYK match.

       


      Just seen the link to your "look up" - amazingly helpful - much appreciated.

       

      What would your advice be re the CMYK - keep an eye on your guide?

       

      Out of Gamut really just mean unreliable and not precise?
