To delete a swatch from the Swatches palette:
Select the swatch you want to delete. To select multiple swatches, hold down Ctrl 
(Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and click each swatch. To select adjacent swatches, hold 
down Shift and click to define the range.
Delete the selected swatches in one of the following ways:
Choose Delete Swatch from the pop-up menu.
Click the Delete Swatch button   at the bottom of the palette.
Drag the selected swatches to the Delete Swatch button.
Note: When you delete a spot color or global process color swatch (or a pattern or 
gradient containing a spot or global process color), all objects painted with those colors 
will be converted to the non-global process color equivalent. 
Editing swatches
You can change individual attributes of a swatch—such as its name, color mode, color 
definition, whether it is process or spot, or whether a process color can be changed 
globally—using the Swatch Options dialog box. 
Any swatch can be named in Adobe Illustrator; for example, you can change the name of a 
CMYK process color, and it still prints and separates with each of its CMYK values intact.
To edit a swatch:
Choose Window > Swatches.
Select a swatch, and do one of the following:
Double-click the swatch. 
Choose Swatch Options from the pop-up menu in the Swatches palette. 
Enter the relevant information in the Swatch Options dialog box:
Enter a name in the Swatch Name text box.
Choose Spot Color or Process Color from the Color Type pop-up menu. Both spot colors 
and process colors can be changed globally.
Click Global if you want changes to the selected process color to be applied globally 
throughout the document. (For more information, see 
.)
Choose CMYK, RGB, Web Safe RGB, HSB, or Grayscale from the Color Mode pop-up 
menu and change the color definition (if desired) using the color sliders or text boxes at 
the bottom of the palette.
Click OK.
Note: When separated, each spot color is converted to a process color by default, unless 
you deselect the Convert to Process option in the Separation Setup dialog box.

Changing global colors and tints
You can change the color or tint of all objects that share the same properties, or you can 
use the Swatches palette to change a color or tint throughout a file. You can change 
process colors or spot colors.
