...or is it just me?
when blending 2 objects with a spot color assigned, the blends will not be the spot color.
or...
when you have objects blended you will open up the file later and the blended objects appear to have a color assigned from the Document color pallette
I cannot replicate your second example.
The first question begs this question. How are you reading the color values on the blend?
this stime i started with a new file with no colors in the document palette.
the furthest objects on the right and left are spot colors of the same assignment
the 4 objects in between are the blend. In this case, all colors in the blend were interestingly enough to be spot colors but just the wrong ones.
any ideas?
(was using the pantone+ coated color profile.)
Chances are you have the clockwise or counter clockwise color rotation selected (like in the above). If you select Direct then it should be using the same color. If it's not, please share the file.
direct.cdr
direct blend option is chosen. Attached you will see a file (at lest on my end) when two spot color green objects (of the same spot color) are blended the spot color is red.
Something in your palette is seriously messed up.
When I open your files I do indeed get two very different colours for the blend objects, 100% Yellow . If I duplicate the two end objects (pantone 354C) and re apply the blend the two blend objects are black not yellow.
However, if I reapply the same colour to both these end objects from the Pantone palette, I get the identical green for the blend objects.
Try doing a repair of the application.
Yes never thought of that
