Swatch CMYK %0% colour darker than 100%


Recommended Posts

When one creates a 50% tint in CMYK, the swatch panel shows it as darker than the original colour - which feels like RGB behaviour.

Reported during beta phase but not seen a response - or a suggestion as to how to avoid this.

You made a suggestion (feature request) earlier, and bundled several items together, including this one. It would probably have gotten a Serif response if you'd reported this one as a bug then, or put it in a post of its own. But reporting it as a bug would have been better.

Sorry to have been a long time replying, Ive been away  -- Pauls is quite right. Using the dark workspace has some (logical) side effects when working with colour.
Thanks for your response  Pauls
