Adobe Illustrator/Color profile issue in Illustrator

Question
Hi Kevin,
)
My counterpart in the on-site worked on a art work in Illustrator on a Mac. When I open the same image on my Illustrator (Windows PC) there is a color difference. Both the images are created and opened in CMYK mode. I have attached an image for your reference. My counterpart tells me it is a Color Profile Issue. Some says it might be Gamma issue between MAC and PC.
Kindly give me you expert opinion. Thanks in anticipation.
regards
Newton.
Hi Newton,
Under Preferences>Color Profile your two settings should match exactly. If they do not, a color shift will occur. The Gamma deals with your monitor not your file itself. The Color Profile deals with the file settings.
Thanks
Kevin
