The new Color Styles docker makes it easy to manage
the colors used in a document.
New!
Color harmonies:
The new color
harmony functionality lets you group a document’s
color styles so that you can quickly and easily
produce iterative designs with varying color
schemes. By combining two or more color styles
into a harmony, you are linking the colors into a
hue-based relationship. This lets you modify them
collectively, altering the color composition of your
artwork in one step to quickly prepare a variety of
alternate color schemes. You can also edit the
individual color styles in a harmony.
In addition, you can also create a special type of
color harmony called a gradient, which consists
of one master color style and a number of varying
shades of that color. When you alter the master
color, the gradient colors automatically adjust to
the same degree that the master color was
altered. This is especially useful when outputting
multiple color variations of the same design.
Color harmonies make it easy to change
combinations of colors.
