    Do not use the colour picker for CMYK work.
    It's (sorry to say that) crap.
    Embarrassing fact but there you are.

    As Gerald says, don't use the color picker. This has been discussed a few times. It's not that it's crap, but that it's a strictly RGB tool, so any CMYK values you enter get rounded to nearest RGB equivalent.

    There should be a big warning when you open the darn thing. :)
