The one step needed (to make the color disappear) is to change the Palette field also in the Document Setup -> Color section. This causes the creation of a new palette and the removal of the colors from the previous palette.

If only the Color field is changed (to RGB), then it is all fine here.

In case (2), it is similar, but when pasting the color is "re-imported".

@William-Kansepa I tried to replicate this using those steps, but here the swatch and fill both remained.

Please send me a VS file with the first 3 steps done, so that is just needs to be converted to RGB. Did you use the Document Setup -> Color to change to RGB mode?

Yes I did use the Document Setup -> Color to change to RGB mode.
I forgot to mention that the added swatch is from an Illustrator *.ASE palette imported into the Default Palette.

I have sent the test files to your email.

Edit PS: you can also try out Scenario 2 using the file that I send to you.
