Vexel Art > Vexel Help > my colors aren't saturated in illustrator! Page: 1

it's always been like this. when i began using illustrator for computer graphics at school, i've noticed that the colors are never as saturated and bright as i want them to be. even if i select a really bright color from the pallette, once i press OK the color changes to a duller, icky one.

anyone have this problem? i've seen vexels done by illustrator and their colors seem fine.

thanks in advance.

edit: here's a little screenshot i made if my explanation above made no sense at all. i actually had fun doing this.. -____-; i need to do my homework...

Is it just the moniter? I have a similar problem with my own moniter, my moniter that I use photoshop on makes everything brighter (yet somehow less satruin a way too, not quite sure how that works out) than it does on normal moniters.

I'd try just saving something with a really bright color [that looks dull when you open it in your school] and try opening it on a different computer with a different type of moniter.

Sorry if this doesn't help.

That's how it is with Illustrator at my school. PS is perfect with colors, but Ilustrators are all...light.

well i don't think it's my moniter. i'm using both photoshop and illustrator on the same monitor, and there's a huge difference.

edit: oh wait, i get what you meant. i first used Illustrator in school, but i have it at home too. (:

when you select new !! like for a new document... is your settings at 16 bit or whatever it is !!! ? you may have it set for lower that 16 ?!

^Um, what?! That's decided when you 'save for web'.

It's probably the monitor difference.

Well, I don't use illustrator but I know photoshop does have color... grr what are they called...? I can' think of what they're called : / but you can like open a new document and it will be stuck in greyscale so you might be able to select colors in the colorwheel but then they'll just turn grey and you have to go make your image the proper color settings.

Damnit, someone write that correctly please : / I'm on no sleep... NO SLEEP!

it doesn't sound like a monitor thing because she said the colors are showing up perfectly fine in the color selection box, just when you go to paint something that color it changes.

No because if it was monitor difference she wouldn't be able to see the colour perfectly when shes on the colour wheel
