830 Recoloring your triangle tunnels
- [Instructor] All right, now I'm going to show you how to assign different colors to your triangle tunnels. So one way to work would be to select that big rectangle just by clicking on it, and then you can go up to this icon right here that reads Recolor Artwork. And that will bring up this big dialog box, and then you could go ahead and click edit if you like. You could lock those two colors in agreement with each other and then you could go ahead and drag this guy for example to somewhere in the red zone. And so I might take it up to let's say 20 degrees or something along those lines. And you'll end up recoloring the artwork in the background. However, because we're working with global swatches, that's why they've got these little white wedges in their bottom right corners, we can just edit the swatches and everything colored with those swatches will change in time. So I'm going to cancel out of there, and I'm going to deselect the rectangle by pressing control + shift + A, or command + shift + A on a Mac, and then I'll double click on this swatch Color 5A. And that's why I've numbered these guys these way. 5A doesn't have to be blue. So notice that the global checkbox is on, and that means you've created a relationship between this swatch and any objects that are colored with it. And so I'm going to switch the color mode to HSP, because I find it much easier to work with. And I'm going to change the hue value to zero, and then I'll take the saturation value down to 80, and if you turn on the preview checkbox, you can see that automatically recolors the artwork in the background, at which point I'll click OK. All right, if I want to change the highlight color, I want to recolor the shadows as well, so I'll go ahead and double click on color 5B right there, and I'll change it to value to 330 which is somewhere between red and magenta. And then I'll set the saturation value to 100 is going to work, and I'll take the brightness way down to 10%, and then I'll turn on the preview checkbox. You can see that we've entirely recolored the artwork. And this goes not only for the pattern by the way, but for the additional gradients in the background. And so I might follow things up by renaming this layer from blues to just colors, let's say. All right now I'm going to turn the pattern layer back on so I can show you one more way to work. Let's say that you want this red to be purple instead, and you want that purple to be one of these guys that's already at work here in the swatches panel, such as this guy that begins R equals 102. Well then just go ahead and drag it and alt + drop it onto that red swatch like so. And because you have alt or option key down, can you see? Your fist has a little plus sign next to it, and then if you release, you go ahead and recolor the artwork with that color right there. Now I think that's a little dark, so I'm going to go ahead and double click on color 5A. In order to modify things a little bit, I'm going to take the hue value to 270, which is violet. I'll take the saturation to 70%, and then I'll crank the brightness value up to 100%, and I'll turn on the preview checkbox, and we end up with this purple pattern right here. At which point I'll go ahead and click OK in order to accept that change, and then I'll switch to the full screen presentation mode by going up to the view menu and choosing Presentation Mode, or you can just press shift + f for full screen. And that is how you quickly and easily recolor a bunch of gradients just by modifying a couple of global swatches here inside Illustrator.
