Published in Illustrator Color Tools 1 min read

To use the Color Guide panel in Adobe Illustrator, you first need to select a base color, which the Color Guide will use to generate color combinations. This panel is not open by default and must be accessed through the menu.

Here's how to open the Color Guide in Illustrator:

  1. Locate the Color Guide panel:

    • Go to the Window menu at the top of the Illustrator application window.
    • Scroll down and find Color Guide.
    • Click on Color Guide to open the panel.
  2. Understanding the Color Guide:

    • Once the panel is open, you'll need to define a base color. The Color Guide uses this color to create harmonious color schemes.
    • You can select a base color from the fill or stroke color on your active color panel.
    • The panel will then generate color combinations based on this base color.
