each of those colors points to the New column, which contains what the color has become (or
has been reassigned to).



  1. Click the Hide Color Group Storage icon ( ) to hide the color groups. Drag the dialog box by
    the title bar at the top to see the artwork.




  2. Click the small arrow to the right of the green bar in the Current Colors column.




This tells Illustrator not to change that color in the selected artwork. You can see that reflected
in the artwork on the artboard.

You also might not like how the colors in the Cassette colors group were assigned to your
artwork. You can edit the colors in the New column in different ways, even reassigning current
colors. That’s what you’ll do next.


  1. Drag the red bar up, on top of the pink bar in the Current Colors column.


Essentially, you just told Illustrator to replace the darker red and the lighter red with the blue-
green color in the New column. Illustrator assigns both colors using the tint values of the
original colors.
