Recoloring with custom color groups

In this exercise, I'm going to show you another way to recolor a selection still from the Recolor Artwork dialog box, but this time we're going to take these four shades of blue that our artwork inside the T-shirts and we are going to replace them with four other colors that are found inside of a color group. So basically, we take one color group and replace it with another color group in one fell swoop, very simple operation, very effective as well. I've saved my progress as New earthtones.ai. I am going to scroll over to the right side of this document here and selected the two T-shirts in the third column. Now we are going to make a color group from those colors by going over here to the Swatches panel and clicking on the New Color Group icon. That will bring up a dialog box. I'll just go ahead and call this, Shades of blue let's say and work from the Selected Artwork of course, Include Swatches for Tints is just fine. I don't care about Global Colors, so we'll leave that option…
