: Color of an object as a Variable in Illustrator Is it possible to have the color of an object as a Variable? In my particular case I want to change the color of a rectangle with my datasets.

Please see my LinkedIn article here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/illustrator-variable-data-advanced-techniques-recoloring-vasily-hall/
It describes the usage of a menu-item script in the batch action which processes each dataset with a custom routine which colorizes shapes. The script called "Recolor.jsx" takes variable data from text frames associated with a variable field and uses it as a parameter for its function in setting document object colors. You can make creative uses of all the various application methods and their parameters.
