: Adobe Illustrator RGB mode: hex colors different than in Inkscape Until now, I've used Inkscape for creating simple svg illustrations for the web. I've decided recently to give Adobe Illustrator
Until now, I've used Inkscape for creating simple svg illustrations for the web. I've decided recently to give Adobe Illustrator a try.
One thing that bugs me in Illustrator are hexcolors:
I create a new document for the web, so the color palette is RGB.
I enter the hex color #c1cedb for an element.
I go and check the color in the web browser, it is #ccc
The same happens with other hex colors
If I do the same with Inkscape, the color in the web browser is #c1cedb , as expected.
I'm aware of the fact that Illustrator is extremely powerful and complex, so I'm probably just missing a basic detail here. Could someone help me out?

Basically, if you follow these steps, this can't go wrong:
Create new document
Go to File > Document Color Mode > RGB Color
Create a square with hex #C1CEDB
Go File > Export > Save as type : JPEG(*JPG)
Make sure the Color Model is set to RGB and not Grayscale
PS: The last step is probably the problem, exporting with
Grayscale as Color Model will probably give you something like #CCC or
#CDCDCD
