What is your favorite method for recoloring artwork in Adobe Illustrator?

[@jens2763]

Very clear & concise. I was trying to recolor background watercolor lines that had many "layers" of color. This really helped. Thanks!

[@EricVasquezDesign]

Thanks for the comment! I’m so glad that the video helped you in recoloring your watercolor background! 😄

Excellent, thank you very much. 🙂👍👋
One question: in my library I have several color schemes that I extracted from Adobe color, and I would like to apply them to my design but, when I select the design and then ask it to recolor it, it is painted in only one color when I select that color within the scheme of several colors stored in my library (Instead of using all that scheme with the colors that integrate it, to apply it to Design). What I need is to use that color scheme to be applied as a new proposal to the design, how do I apply the various color schemes stored in the library (that were extracted from Adobe color) to the selected design? Thanks!

Thanks for your comment and for the question. While there are a couple of ways to do this, I believe the easiest way would be to open a JPG of your color scheme and place it in the same Illustrator file as your design. From here you can select any of the colors in your existing design, then go to the Select menu and choose Same > Fill Color and it will select everything in your design that is currently filled with that color. From there, you can grab your Eyedropper Tool (I) and sample any of the colors from the JPG of your color scheme. Repeat this for all of the colors that you’d like to change. Pro Tip: To make this easier for yourself, once you’ve selected all of the colors that share the same fill color, press Command/Ctrl+G to group them together. Now you will be able to use your Selection Tool (V) to select any shape from the group and use your Eyedropper Tool (I) to change the color of the entire group at the same time. I hope this will help! 😊
