When using Adobe Illustrator, how do I preview my changes when I'm using the color picker to change the color of an element?
Picking the color of an element is dependent on what's around it, so I'd like to see my color changes as I'm making them rather than having to click apply every time I'd like to see my work.
*Bonus points if you also know how to remove the outline that appears when an element is selected during this process. [That also interferes with choosing the correct color]

Select the art and choose Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork and play to your heart's content.
To hide the selection edges, simply choose View > Hide Edges. However, if you use Recolor Artwork the edges automatically get hidden when that dialog is open.
You'll want to use a global swatch.
