Notes
If the DocumentColorSpace of a document is aiDocumentCMYKColor and you specify
the color value for a PageItem in that document using RGBColor, Illustrator will translate the
RGB color specification into a CMYK color specification. The same thing happens if the
document's DocumentColorSpace is aiDocumentRGBColor and you specify colors
using CMYKColor. Since this translation can cause information loss you should specify colors
using the class that matches the document's DocumentColorSpace.
Example 72.1
This script sets the default fill color of the frontmost document to yellow using an RGB object. If
the color space of the frontmost document is CMYK, then Illustrator will regard the RGB fill
color as a CMYK color although it is specified using RGB.
