Paragraph Styles Saved in CC Library Not Maintaining Color

[GregL2570]

Just wanted to share that a paragraph style created within Adobe InDesign and saved in a CC Library will not carry over the assigned character color when applying the library style to text in Adobe Illustrator, but very strangely enough, seems to work in the opposite direction. If the paragraph style is originally created with Illustrator then saved in a CC Library,  the character color does if fact carry over if the CC Library style is applied to text in an InDesign document.

The question is: Why isn't the character color from InDesign being saved with the paragraph style in the CC Library? Isn't the whole idea and flexibility of CC Libraries to be cross compatible with other Adobe applications? I work primarily with InDesign and so it makes sense to create and save my paragraph styles in that environment, however,, there are many times when those same paragraph styles are needed in an Illustrator project. I suppose I could recreate all my paragraph styles within Illustrator and save them to my CC Library, however the functionality of Illustrator when it comes to paragraph styles is nowhere near the functionality of the InDesign paragraph style editor.

Could someone from Adobe please look into fixing this issue? I would like to know that any paragraph style created with InDesign could be compatible with Illustrator via CC Libraries when necessary. Thanks!

That is certainly the intention, and it is working for me:

Style called "Sample", adding to Library.

Unformatted text in a new doc.

Clicking on Sample in the Library adds the style to the Styles panel, and assigns the formatting.

And the color appears in Illustrator as well (I shouldn't have used a rule below in my example, since that feature doesn't exist in Ai. )

So, it is a bug you are experiencing, or is there a character format or override getting in your way?

In InDesign CC 2017, I just did a test with CMYK colors (the default InDesign swatches). I dragged them to CC Libraries and turned on Paragraph Styles to save.

In Illustrator CC 2017, I dragged the paragraph styles on to Illustrator text and the Color panel shows exactly the same CMYK value.

What versions of the applications are you using? What kind of colors?
