What you learned


Why you need global colors

After saving a global color and applying it to objects in your design, you can edit the global swatch later, and it will update the color everywhere it’s used. This makes color changes fast and painless, leaving more time for creative exploration.


Make a global color

When you make and save a new color in the Swatches panel, it’s automatically saved as a global swatch — look for the white triangle outline around the swatch that identifies it.


Create lighter versions of a global color

Once you save a global swatch, you can create tints or lighter versions for greater tonal variety in your designs. This lets you extend your color palette without introducing a different color. You can also save the tints conveniently as swatches!


Tints update automatically

An advantage of using tints is that when you edit the original global color, all the tints you generated also update, saving you time.
