Chris, I KNOW that you can't really select/create CMYK colors in an RGB
document, that is why I added the following:
I realize that converting the color to CMYK in an RGB document does

make it a true CMYK color--but you can SELECT your colors that way.
I see what you mean now, but the above didn't clear things up for me
because of the word convert, which also appeared in the post I
originally responded to. The spot color isn't really being converted to
CMYK. The color palette is just showing a CMYK equivalent *based* on
the RGB version. I stated this in my first post on the subject: "It's
possible define a spot color in an RGB document and then convert the
spot color into RGB, and then convert the document to CMYK. But how do
you convert the spot color to CMYK in an RGB document?"
And in response you followed that up with a series of steps, without
then saying the spot color hasn't really been converted to CMYK. So in
my mind, twice I'm reading you say that it is possible to do what I'm
saying isn't possible.
I was referring to how a USER might mistake the CMYK spec in RGB mode
for
true CMYK.
Fair enough, and now that's clear. I wasn't getting that before. Sorry.
