Hi. I am very new to InkScape. I'm having a problem where when i open up an .AI file the fill colors are not right at all. for instance what should be grey is actually showing light lime green. This seems like an easy fix but I've no idea what to do and have exhausted my searches.

I should probably also say that embedded images are showing the correct colors.

Can you upload an example .ai file?

Hi.

Probably the .ai file you are using is in cmyk.
There is not much option to do about it in inkscape.
Make a search how can you convert it to rgb, which than should look fine in inkscape too.

Thank You so much!

So I got my employer to check the settings and the mode was set to rgb in document settings i believe. Is there maybe some fills that are incompatible? I ended up having him export as png and working from that with gimp.

Does it use blend mode ?
