WORKING WITH BRUSHES AND GRADIENTS
Live Color
Live Color is a complete color exploration environment within Illustrator CS4. If you
have ever been frustrated by having to color objects individually, you will appreciate this
interactive way to create and apply color schemes.
Live Color lets you work with color in a variety of ways. Discover new and unique color
combinations that you can save and reuse. Interactively apply color to multiple objects at
once, test color schemes quickly, and re-color artwork according to specific schemes such as
PANTONE or any custom library.
Live Color includes the Color Guide panel, which invites exploration of color groups
without affecting your artwork. Use the Color Guide panel to find compelling colors
and save them to organized color groups in your Swatches panel. You can create color
schemes based on 23 classic color-harmony rules such as Complementary, Analogous,
Monochromatic, and Triad, or you can create custom harmony rules. Choose a base color,
and then see what variations you come up with according to rules you choose. You can also
limit color schemes to existing libraries such as PANTONE solids or any set of colors you
may have saved in a previous project.
Live Color is also ideal for presenting color options to clients. Quickly change the entire look
and feel of a logo, a piece of collateral, or an illustration to present likely color schemes in
the comp phase of a project. And saving color variations is easier than ever, so moving from
comps to final production is efficient, thanks to quick application of saved schemes.
Use the Color Guide panel to quickly
redefine color schemes based on a

a specific swatch library.

boxes that enable creative color
scheme experimentation and fast
recoloring of selected artwork.
