: How alter overall coloring of a complex object? I've got following fish object that needs new color: If I change color the fish looks weird and all the outlines are gone (until I change

In general... Reduce, refine, simplify.

You often need to either redraw the object, or do some work to simplify the image overall. This is especially true if you are seeking to use a 1 color version of the image. You need to add hard contrast overall to ensure the details are seen in a single color.

I would choose to redraw the overall image using the original as a guide really, but not utilizing it directly.

When redrawing, I'd remove unnecessary detail, and add high-contrast detail where appropriate.



This reduced the image to a solid single color image which is clear at smaller sizes:



From there, it's a fairly easy matter to just apply a new color....



If usage requires even smaller sizes than this, additional attention to increasing the negative spaces may be required. The "gaps" tend to start plugging up around 100px wide.

That image looks lile is taken from a vector program.


Ungroup the objects and asign individual colors to individual objects.
Re arrange the order of them if they are mixed.
Rapir any open path.
Clean the object, for example cut objects onw with another in case "hidding" it behind does not work.
