Reducing the number of colors in your art

In this move I'll show you what to do if the number of colors inside of a Color Group that…you want to use is less than the number of colors currently assigned to the selected…objects, in which case you need to go ahead and double up colors. And let me show you how that works.…Now what you're seeing here is the final piece of artwork that we created at the end of the…previous chapter, but while this brownish background works great with these blue shirts, if you…turn off the blue Ts layers here inside the Layers panel you'll see that I have a brown…Ts layer below it, and now we're losing the contrast.…

So I need to assign a different color scheme to the background.…And I am going to do so by Alt+Clicking or Option+Clicking on the back drop layer in…order to select all of its path outlines.…And then even though the Recolor Artwork dialog box is going to automatically hide these selection…edges, I'm going to manually hide them by pressing Ctrl+H or Command+H on a Mac, and…that will just make it easier to show you a before and after when we are done.…
