Creating a copy of a swatch

One of the easiest ways to create and save a color as a swatch is to make a copy of a swatch and

edit the copy. Next, you’ll create another swatch by copying and editing the swatch named “Dark

Orange.”

1. With the circle still selected and the Swatches panel still showing, choose Duplicate Swatch
   from the panel menu ( ).

This creates a copy of the selected Dark Orange swatch. The new swatch is also now applied to

the selected circle shape.
