Eyedropping from an AI layer giving different color

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Is your project color managed? I feel like the Illustrator file came in as CMYK and the eyedropper isn’t compensating.

That would be my educated guess.

No I checked. Actually after I posted this I went into Illustrator to copy and paste the color values and Illustrator is also reading the colors wrong. Its bizarre. I have two objects right beside eachother, I eyedrop one from the other, and they are 2 different colors. Never seen anything like it!!

Try breaking it apart. The other thing to consider is that it’s a semi-transparent layer over another shape…. that’s all I got.

Check the Color Profile assigned to the Illustrator Document.
Go to Edit>Assign Profile:

Then import the AI file in After Effects and Interpret the Footage.

Go to Color Management and cross check the Color Profile AE has assigned to the file:

If nothing works then go to Project settings(File>Project Settings) and choose None in working space.

Hope this may solve the issue.
