What you'll need
Now try it yourself
1. Duplicate the artboard so you can see a before and after. Choose the Artboard tool, then Option/Alt + drag to duplicate the artboard and its contents.
Tip: You can also select Duplicate Artboards from the flyout menu on the Artboards panel (Window — Artboards) .
2. Choose the Selection tool, on Artboard 1 drag a marquee around all the objects you’d like to recolor to select them.
3. Go to Edit — Edit Colors — Recolor Artwork.
4. On the Recolor Artwork window click Edit to show the color wheel. Check Recolor Art to preview the changes as you make them. Recolor your work using one of these techniques:
a. Drag the main swatch (larger dot) around the color palette to change individual colors.
b. Click Link harmony colors to preserve the original color relationships and edit all colors together.
5. Drag the main swatch to the lower left blues on the color palette. Then click and drag the greenish swatch to a lighter blue and finally drag the black swatch up to the greenish colors.
6. With a swatch selected, you can also use the HSB sliders at the bottom of the window to make fine adjustments to a color.
