I tested your scenario, I created a new RGB document, added a rectangle and pasted #94C840 in color picker. I saved the document - reopened, and it stays #94C840. So I don't see any problem here.

That is happen when you use RGB color on CMYK Document Color Mode. Hope this help.

It doesn't matter where you created your file, what matters is the color mode you are using. You provided a hexadecimal value of the color, so I assumed you're working within RGB color space. If you're working in CMYK, and you don't understand why your hex value has changed, that means you've been designing logos since 2014 without the basic knowledge. I encourage you to read and understand this:

Export to pdf from corel then open in illustrator, choose RGB if you're asked the color mode when opening the file.
Note that your document in illustrator is RGB mode when you do so...depending on the color you use ( out of gamut or not ) it probably not viewing actual printing color.

Hi boyingdesign

It is possible that it is the version or CC year. It seems I had the same problem in the past. I have one computer that has CC2014 and that is the one where this happens. I'll check my other version CC2108 and see if it does it too.
Anyone else have the CC versions that this happens?
I sure wish I could have kept my old AI version.

What version do you use?

Yes both the 2014 and the 2018 changes the %s.
What is AI thinking? We use CMYK more than RGB. Every time they upgrade their software we need to relearn something new rather than improving our methods.
