To open a color box in Adobe Illustrator, you can access the Color Picker by interacting with the stroke or fill boxes located at the bottom of the Tools panel on the left.
Here's how to do it:
Steps to Open the Color Picker
- Locate the Tools Panel: On the left side of your Illustrator workspace, you will find the Tools panel.
- Find the Stroke and Fill Boxes: At the bottom of this panel, you’ll see two overlapping boxes: one for fill color (solid square) and one for stroke color (hollow square).
- Double-Click: To open the Color Picker, double-click either the stroke box or the fill box, depending on which color you want to modify.
Using the Color Picker
Once the Color Picker is open, you can:
- Visually Select a Color: Click within the color spectrum to choose a desired hue.
- Enter Color Values: Input specific values for different color modes (e.g., RGB, CMYK, HSB).
- Choose from a Library: Select from a predefined color library or create your own custom colors.
Additional Notes
- The fill color applies to the inside of a shape, while the stroke color outlines its edge.
- The color picker allows you to easily change any color applied in your Illustrator project.
By using these steps, you can effectively open and use the Color Picker to customize colors in Adobe Illustrator.
