Exclamation Can't choose certain colours

I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS and I can't select certain colours like royal blue, neon pink or green and purple colours. Everytime I try to select one of these colours a yellow triangle shows up (like the icon attached with this message) next to the default colour and won't change. How can I fix this?

Default Re: Can't choose certain colours

What color profile are you using? Are you using CMYK or RGB? I'm currently posting from a phone and can't really investigate but I'm hoping it's just a matter of you changing your profile.

Default Re: Can't choose certain colours

The icon is showing that the colour is outside your colour gamut, basically you can't print that colour. Check your working profile, it should not be sRGB but something like AdobeRGB1998.
