How to Create a Custom Colour Swatch in Adobe Illustrator CS3

by   |  Posted in Tutorials  |  3 comments

I know this is a pretty simple thing to do but there might be some beginners out there who are getting a little frustrated when it comes down to Swatches and Adobe Illustrator. Whenever I work with Illustrator I always create a new colour group where I store all the colours that I’m working with. This is a great way to stay organized and have all your colours available in one place. No more need for the eyedropper tool to select the colours you want and no more frustration in not knowing the exact shade you were working with.

    Love Illustrator swatches – good tutorial – swatches are definitely a very useful feature of Illustrator (patterns or gradients or colors)
