: Color Relations / Getting the right hue for a color In the latest version of Adobe Illustrator, I am working on some icons, and want to change the color of one. The green one I'm happy

@Karen819

If I were you I would:

Create a layer

Click the button Create Sub Layer and name it PageLayer

On the Sub Layer Create the shape with top right corner cut out:



Click the button again Create Sub Layer on top of the PageLayer and title it Fold

On the Fold Layer create the fold itself and color it with K60:



Place the Fold Layer over the PageLayer:



Make sure it is all selected and click Align top and right from the Align Object:



Select the Fold layer and go to Transparency and choose the options Multiply at 40%:



and you should have this:



Ideally you will be targeting a darker Hue of the page color. I hope this helps and is what you're looking for. You could always change the color of the Fold layer to a darker black or lighter black to target the Hue you're after

I would lighten the yellow a bit and then use that current yellow color for the fold.
