Introduction

In this episode, we'll learn how to choose harmonious colors using the Color Guide and how to replace the entire illustration palette at once with Recolor Artwork. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Color coordination is a challenge for many beginner designers. Illustrator has a color harmony tool, and Recolor Artwork for experimenting with palettes without having to repaint each element individually. Open the red and yellow balloon file.

Step 1: Original Illustration

Duplicate it twice to the right using the Ruler tool, so there are three balloons. We'll create three versions of the color palette.

Step 2: Color Harmony

Open the Color Guide panel. The base color is taken from the selected object, and then harmony rules are available. Complementary uses colors opposite on the color wheel, analogous uses adjacent colors, and triad uses three colors spaced equally. Select the second balloon, then go to Edit, Edit Colors, Recolor Artwork.

Step 3: Recolor Artwork

The Recolor panel displays the original illustration colors on the left and the new colors on the right. Click each new color and select a replacement.

Step 4: Analog Blue Palette

Replace red with deep blue and yellow with light blue Tosca. These analogous colors give a calm and cool feel. Click OK to apply. Select the third balloon and open Recolor Artwork again.

Step 5: Triadic Palette

Replace red with purple and yellow with green. Triadic combinations feel cheerful and energetic.

Step 6: Comparing

Add a soft sky background behind the three balloons. Now we see one illustration with three different moods. Save and export.

Done!

Done. We've now understood complementary, analogous, and triadic harmony. Using the Color Guide and replacing the palette with Recolor Artwork. In the next episode, we'll learn about linear and radial gradients. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographics, or print and social media materials?
