New Feature In Illustrator Can Extract Colors From An Image And Apply Them To Your Vector Artwork

The Recolor Artwork tool in Illustrator lets you select and change the colors of your existing vector artwork using a color wheel. But choosing the right colors and changing them individually can be a tedious process.

Now, Adobe is coming up with a Color Theme Picker for the Recolor Artwork tool that will let you extract colors from an image or palette of your choice, and apply them directly to your vector artwork.

Instead of handpicking individual colors, the new feature will instantly replace all the colors in your artwork with the colors of a reference image or palette, with a simple eyedropper click. Check out the demo below.

The enhanced Recolor Artwork tool can help artists, designers, and businesses speed up the design process significantly. You can create and present different color variations of a logo, brochure, business card, infographic, poster, etc. within no time. You can drop a brand palette onto your artwork to instantly change the colors to the ones of the brand.
