...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
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.
Actually you can blend two spot colors they will separate to plate and work in native color PDF just fine. HOWEVER THE EYEDROPPER TOOL FAILS TO READ THEM PROPERLY.
In my opinion there is something wrong with the palette.
Yes never thought of that
