<p>Well, Craig,</p>
<p>thats easy to explain: <br />When I use Illustrator or Indesign, a colour will not change its screen representation if I switch from CMYK definition to RGB definition. That is not a miracle or a question of "who knows" (these programs use HSB definitions, and obviously the conversion works very well).<br />With FrameMaker, on the other hand, a CMYK colour will not look "right" neither on screen nor in the resulting PDF. <br />And only with the CMYK print option activated that has been implemented successfully with FM 10, this colour information will be transfered to the PDF correctly.</p>

<pre>Given the theoretical differences I'm not sure why you would expect RGB output of CMYK colors to be close to what CMYK color should looks like.
Think of it this way, if you choose a Pantone color as a spot color, you'd expect it to print exactly like as that Pantone color to paper. But to the screen, who knows? It's be "close" but depends on the color correctness of the particular monitor.
