Is it possible to change the color of a Single Guide or Specific Guide in Illustrator or any other Adobe products?

Hi

No, all guides that are not selected have to be the same color. In Illustrator, you can make one choice only for the guides that are not selected in Preferences > Guides and Grid

But selected guides will be the color of the layer.

Hi harshinim5407457
As per my experience, it aint possible in Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Yes you can rather differentiate the color between Smart Guides, Guides and Grids from [Adobe Product]>Edit>Preferences>Guides, Grids & Slices.

Actually, it is possible in InDesign: just select the guide(s) you want to change the color of and choose Layout -> Ruler Guides...
