https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/allow-default-color-model-for-new-items-to-be-set/idi-p/1719061 <P>I manage GIS data and create maps for a nonprofit trail organization. The maps I create may be intended for onscreen use, where RGB is the appropriate color model, or print applications where CMYK is appropriate. Currently, ArcGIS Pro allows the default color model for new items to be set only at the application level. It would be helpful if users could set the default model at the project level such that Project A could be used for multiple print-based maps and all items would be created in CMYK, while Project B would be for multiple onscreen maps and items would be created in RGB. Further, users could create a "CMYK Template" and "RGB Template" so that new projects could be set up in the correct color model as needed.</P> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 19:14:53 GMT JimGrode 2026-08-06T19:14:53Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/allow-default-color-model-for-new-items-to-be-set/idi-p/1719061 <P>I manage GIS data and create maps for a nonprofit trail organization.
