: Illustrator: How do you change default Fill/Stroke Colors for the 'D' key? Pressing D will switch to the default Fill/Stroke colors (which is White Fill / Black Stroke in Illustrator). I remember

Ok, the answer was easy (but hard to recall if you've forgotten it like me):


Set your preferred Fill & Stroke.
Open the Graphic Styles panel; Window > Graphic Styles.
Click the New Graphic Style button.
Hold Alt/Opt key and drag the new style onto the default style. (The
default style is the one having a miniature Fill/Stroke symbol in
the lower left corner).


Now, pressing 'D' will change all selected objects to the new default style.

A bonus tip: In the Graphic Styles panel, open the Graphic Styles Libraries Menu and choose for example Additive. While having a path selected, Alt-/Opt-click on one of the Additive styles, to add some very interesting effects on your path.
