When you create a color style in the Color styles docker
(left), it is automatically added to the Color styles
palette (right). The Color styles palette is not open by
default.


You can select all color styles that are not used
in a document. You can also convert color
styles to different color modes or to spot colors
to prepare your document for production
printing.


To select all color styles that are not used in
a document, click the Select unused
button in the Color styles docker.

Color styles can be combined into groups
called harmonies. A harmony allows you to link
color styles into hue-based relationships and
modify them together as a set. By editing color
styles in a harmony, you can quickly create a
variety of alternate color schemes by shifting
the colors together, or you can alter the color
composition of your artwork in one step.


Color styles grouped in a harmony

You can create a color harmony from scratch or
from the colors of an existing object.

To create a color harmony from scratch,
click the New color harmony button ,
and choose New color harmony. Then,
drag color swatches from any open palette
to the harmony folder in the Color styles
docker.

To create a color harmony from an existing
object, drag the object to the bottom part
of the gray area in the Color styles docker,
and specify options in the Create color
styles dialog box.

The color harmony was created by dragging the clipart
from the document window to the lower section of the
color styles list in the Color styles docker.

When you edit a harmony, you can change all
color styles simultaneously by preserving the
relationship between them, or you can modify
individual color styles within the harmony.
