Fill color

Post by Alltech animator »

How to I change the fill color of an existing object. I have two elements in my character that I thought I changed to the same color but they are coming out two different shades of blue. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Select the select Shape tool.

Click on the shape with the desired color.

Click on the Copy button in the Styles window, between Applied styles: and Swatches.

Click on the shape with the wrong color.

Click on Paste button, next to the Copy button.

And presto.

To avoid these situations in the future, you could use styles to apply a fill color and/or an outline color to shapes with the same fill and/or outline color. Then you could also easily change the colors in your artwork in a later stage.

I should note that the copy color tools copies every attribute of a shape, both for fill and outline, while with styles you can selectively apply one or two attributes to each shape (assumably one for fill and one for outline).
