Blend colors
The Blend commands create a series of intermediate colors from a group of three or more filled objects, based on the
objects’ vertical or horizontal orientation, or on their stacking order. Blending does not affect strokes or unpainted
objects.
1 Select three or more filled objects.
2 Do one of the following:
To fill the intermediate objects with graduated blends between the frontmost and backmost filled objects, choose
Edit > Edit Colors > Blend Front To Back.
To fill the intermediate objects with graduated blends between the leftmost and rightmost filled objects, choose
Edit > Edit Colors > Blend Horizontally.
To fill the intermediate objects with graduated blends between the topmost and bottommost filled objects,
choose Edit > Edit Colors > Blend Vertically.
Change a color to its inverse or complement
1 Select the color you want to change.
2 In the Color panel, select an option from the panel menu:
Invert Changes each component of a color to the opposite value on the color scale. For example, if an RGB color
has an R value of 100, the Invert command will change the R value to 155 (255 – 100 = 155).
Complement Changes each component of a color to a new value based on the sum of the highest and lowest RGB
values in the selected color. Illustrator adds the lowest and highest RGB values of the current color, and then
subtracts the value of each component from that number to create new RGB values. For example, suppose you select
a color with an RGB value of 102 for red, 153 for green, and 51 for blue. Illustrator adds the high (153) and low (51)
values, to end up with a new value (204). Each of the RGB values in the existing color is subtracted from the new
value to create new complementary RGB values: 204 – 102 (the current red value) = 102 for the new red value, 204
– 153 (the current green value) = 51 for the new green value, and 204 – 51 (the current blue value) = 153 for the new
blue value.
Change the tint of a color
1 Select a global process color or spot color in the Swatches panel, or select an object to which you’ve applied a global
process color or spot color.
2 In the Color panel, drag the T slider or enter a value in the text box to modify the color’s intensity. The tint range is
from 0% to 100%; the lower the number, the lighter the tint will be.
If you don’t see the T slider, make sure that you have a global process color or spot color selected. If you still don’t see
the T slider, choose Show Options from the Color panel menu.
3 To save the tint as a swatch, drag the color to the Swatches panel, or click the New Swatch button in the Swatches
panel. The tint is saved with the same name as the base color, but with the tint percentage added to the name. For
example, if you saved a color named “Sky Blue” at 50 percent, the swatch name would be “Sky Blue 50%.
