Which menu path is used to change the document color mode from RGB to CMYK in Adobe Illustrator?

Changing the document color mode from RGB to CMYK in Adobe Illustrator is accomplished through the specific menu path of "File > Document Color Mode." This option directly allows you to switch the entire document's color mode to either CMYK, which is used for print, or RGB, which is suitable for digital display.

When you select this choice, it provides you with a straightforward way to adjust how colors are treated within the document, ensuring that the output matches the intended medium. Using CMYK is particularly important for projects that are going to print because it aligns with the color process used by printers, allowing accurate representation of colors as they will appear on the printed page.

Other menu paths, while related to color settings, do not offer the direct function needed to change the document’s color mode itself. For instance, "File > Document Setup" focuses on various document settings but doesn’t specifically address the color mode change. "File > Color Settings" deals with broader application-wide color management preferences, and "Window > Color" provides access to the color panel but does not facilitate the change of the color mode for the entire document. Hence, choosing the correct path is essential for efficiently managing color modes in your workflow.
