: How can I change colors in an Illustrator file without modifying other aspects? I purchased a stock vector design. I want to change the preset colors used in vector art and leave everything

@Murray976

Select All and choose Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork.

You can then alter colors easily regardless of them being gradients or solid colors.





Then just click OK when you're done.

This will not alter any linked or embedded raster images and may or may not alter raster effects.

Hey Jason,

Is this kind of what you're trying to accomplish? If so, my recommendation would be to select the shapes that you want to change the colors on, then go into your gradient panel, shown here on the right (the square icon that has a gradient). Then select the color box on the slide scale>click the menu in the upper right hand corner>RGB>enter hex code into the box in the bottom right.

Boom, gradient color changed, same gradient is still intact.

Hope that helps.
