thanks for the tip.
Now i have another problem.. Every time I place an image and I export it, the grayscale problem shows up again, and every time I have to choose RGB instead.. isn’t there any way to get over this grayscale color problem once and for all?
thanks

Thank you for the tip. As jeyaOne said, it avoids exiting Illustrator.

I have always just held shift & click on the color spectrum below the color sliders. Pretty quick fix.

that was the worst tip ever. Sry, but in my opinion you didn’t solve it, you showed an alternative way. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Bonus Tip: Alternatively you can hold the shift key and click in the color space (or gray space in this instance) and it will rotate through the different color spaces (RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, Brightness Hue Saturation). This will only shave off a couple of seconds, but every shortcut adds up!

Thanks! That’s quite a pesky issue that seems to pop up whenever it feels like annoying someone. Another way that works for me is just opening or clicking on the swatches menu.

Thanks for this simple tip! What I actually do is click on any color from the color palette, but glad to know about this easy fix!

Novell! I’ve noticed this also but didn’t really make a stink out of it. Thanks for the tip.
