Question

Pantone 294 c turning to a different shade of blue when transferred to a file

Hi! I'm applying Pantone 294 c to my CMYK file but when I transfer it to another PSD, it turns to another shade of blue.

 

Can't find the solution for this. I need to establish the Pantone 294 c as a base color for all materials. Attached the file here.

 

Bottom photo: Main blue with Pantone 294 c using Pantone Connect

Upper photo: Transferred (dragged) but color changed

 

 

Thank you in advance!

Do your files have different color profiles?

They're both in CMYK 🙂

Yes but what "flavour" of CMYK?
Choose "Convert to Profile" from the Edit menu and note what the Source Space Profile is. Are they the same for both files? Choose Cancel to dismiss this dialog box without making a change.
