Hopefully, someone can help me. I am using cmyk colors in a presentation.
When enter the cmyk values in the color picker, for instance 100% cyan, 0%
magenta, 45% yellow and 27% black and click ok, reopen the color picker, I
get 73% cyan, 0% magenta, 45% yellow and 27% Black.

When entering 60% cyan, 100% magenta, 0% yellow and 10% black, I get 60%
cyan, 90% magenta and 10% black.

Does anyone else have this problem? What am I doing wrong? Your collective
help is appreciated.

That's because PowerPoint operates in RGB space, and only because it's
much larger Windows brethern have no choice but to be RGB. So you're
seeing the conversion changes from CMYK to RGB and back again. And
before you ask, there is no workaround. There are some RGB colors that
do not map well to CMYK space and vice a versa.
