Introduction
In this episode, we'll master how to precisely select colors using the Color panel, RGB sliders, Color Picker, and hex codes, to color a sunset scene. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Swatches contain ready-to-use colors, but often we need a specific color, such as a client's brand color. For that, there is the Color panel and Color Picker, which can read hex codes.
Step 1: Open the Color Panel
Open the colored mountain landscape file. Click the Color panel icon. Inside, there is a Fill and Stroke box, R, G, and B sliders, a color spectrum, and a hex code field below.
Step 2: RGB Slider
Select the sky. Slide the R slider to the right, G slightly, and B to the left. The sky color changes to a warm orange. Each slider ranges from 0 to 255, a combination of red, green, and blue light.
Step 3: Hex Code
The most precise way is using hex codes, 6 characters commonly used on the web and brand guidelines. Select the background mountain, click the hashtag field in the Color panel, type C06C84, then press Enter.
Step 4: Color Picker
Double-click the Fill box in the Tools panel to open the Color Picker. Select the shark in the vertical strip, then brightness and saturation in the large field. Or type the hex code below it. Click OK to apply the color.
Step 5: Complete Sunset Palette —
Color the front mountain with 355C7D, the sun with F8B195, and the lake with 6C5B7B. These five colors form a harmonious sunset palette from light to dark.
Step 6: Save the Palette
Select all objects, then in the Swatches panel click New Color Group and name it sunset. The five colors are saved as a swatch group that can be reused. Save and export the illustration Done
Done!
We've used the Color panel, RGB sliders, hex codes, and Color Picker Then arrange the sunset palette and save it as a swag group. In the next episode, we create a global swag that changes multiple objects at once. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
