thats odd, it should not have. the only thing i can think of is his' screen setting is probably a little different. make sure that you consult a pantone book if you are looking for a specific turquoise and are printing it on a professional printer.. screen to printer can look VERY different. When i am just printing at home i usually make a test sheet and just print out several variations of the color i am looking for and choose the one that is the best.
I'm no graphics expert, but I know there can be a lot of monitor-to-monitor variation in color (even between PCs). I've also noticed that colors are lighter when I open files on my MacBook. Like BeachFanatic said, the color that appears on your monitor may not look the same when printed! When I was making our address labels, the pink border was just the right shade on my screen, but when printed it was way, WAY too light. Definitely do a test print! Good luck!
yup, that is why pantone colors are used, to be certain that when you have a logo or a package, say that Hershey brown... that it is the same exact color every time at every printer. screens have a ton of variations..
I would re-save the file. PDFs from Mac to PC sometimes get corrupt and funky looking. I'd re-save the file and zip it (compress it? not sure the terminology on a pc) and send it that way to preserve everything.
We deal with this issue frequently at my work. Ha.
Thanks everyone! I didn't even think about screen variations. I'm an Illustrator novice, but I did know enough to use the correct Pantone formula!
Thanks again!

I just finished designing my wedding invitations (hooray!) and am confused as to what happened when I saved. I downloaded the trial of Illustrator onto my PC to design them. Then, I saved it as a pdf (as the advice I read stated that this would preserve colors/text/etc). I emailed it to a few family members to get some opinions and I opened the pdf on FI's mac. The blue color I used (Pantone's Turqoise) seems to have lightened a little bit. Any reason this may have happened?
