How do I recolor a pattern in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:08 pm

If you want to recolor a pattern in Illustrator, there are a few different ways you can go about it. You can use the Edit Pattern dialog box, or the Pattern Options bar.

The Edit Pattern dialog box is located in the Layer Palette, and can be accessed by clicking the Edit Pattern button (the three lines in the bottom left corner of the Pattern Options bar). The Pattern Options bar can be found in the Options Bar (Window > Options Bar), and can be accessed by clicking the Pattern drop-down menu (the three lines in the bottom right corner of the Illustrator window).

When you open the Edit Pattern dialog box, you’ll see the Pattern Options bar at the bottom. The options in the Pattern Options bar are divided into three sections: the Layers section, the Colors section, and the Gradients section.

The Layers section of the Pattern Options bar lets you select which layers the pattern will be applied to. The Colors section lets you select the colors for the pattern.

The Gradients section lets you select the type of gradient pattern that will be used.

PRO TIP: If you are using Adobe Illustrator to recolor a pattern, be aware that the program may default to using the CMYK color mode. This can result in colors that are not as vibrant as you may want them to be. To avoid this, change the color mode to RGB before starting to recolor your pattern.

The Edit Pattern dialog box also includes a few other options. You can select whether the pattern will be transparent or opaque, and you can select whether the pattern will be repeatable or not.

You can also choose to have the pattern automatically repeat itself when the document is zoomed in or out.

When you’re finished working with the Edit Pattern dialog box, you can close it by clicking the Close button (the red X in the upper right corner of the dialog box). Or, you can click the OK button to save your changes and close thePattern Options bar.

When you’re done working with the Pattern Options bar, you can close the Illustrator window by clicking the Close button (the red X in the upper right corner of the window). Or, you can click the OK button to save your changes and close the Illustrator window.

Finally, when you’re done working with the Edit Pattern dialog box, you can save your changes by clicking the OK button (the green check mark in the upper right corner of the dialog box). Or, you can click the Save As button (the blue arrow in the upper left corner of the dialog box) to save your changes to a different file name.

When you’re done working with the Edit Pattern dialog box, you can close it by clicking the Close button (the red X in the upper right corner of the dialog box). Or, you can click the OK button to save your changes and close the Pattern Options bar.
