Hi Hywell, You are asking for detail which is not relevant -- especially since the screen shots come from DRAW X6 and were made into JPEGs in Photopaint X6 fom a screen shot. Also, you are correct in that the RGB and CMYK colors are not a perfect match. That's irrelevant to the problem (bug). Perfect color match is not the issue. It would be best if you created the diagrams yourself. Here's a way to demonstrate the problem. 1. Create three rectangles. Fill one with a mesh. 2. Open the color docker. See images below. 3. Using the drop down arrow on the right, choose the RGB model. 4. Enter the values shown or pick your own. 5. Fill the first rectangle from the bottom icon on the right while in the RGB model 6. Using the drop down arrow on the right, switch to the CMYK mode. The colors are not identical but that is irrelevant to this problem. 7. Pick the second rectangle and fill from the bottom icon. 8. Switch the color docker back to the RGB model. 9. Place the color on a node in the mesh rectangle. Now use the eyedropper tool on all three rectangles. The first two show the values in the color space which you have chosen. The third or mesh filled rectangle shows eyedropper readings in CMYK even though you picked the color from the RGB docker. I would call that a bug. Nevertheless, the CMYK color corresponds to what was shown in the CMYK color mode of the color docker. Thus, Corel can claim that it is not a bug. The designer can continue to work. There could be several causes for this behavior. 1. The eyedropper reading program code has a bug. 2. The color model of the mesh fill has actually been changed to CMYK. The eyedropper is reading correctly. 3. Dr. Petrov thought that it would be best if mesh colors were displayed in CMYK. That's the best description that I can give. I can't even remember my settings. Phil
