Hello. I am looking for help with how to change the colour of a pattern brush which seems to be made up of images. I have used all of the colourization tools but none seem to allow me to change the colour from green and gone through every tutorial I can find but the colour doesnt want to change. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Yes, that is a raster image.

You can drag the brush outof the brushes panel onto the artboard to inspect it.

Also: when you do that you can somewhat edit it with Edit > Edit colors > Color balance.

Photoshop will give you better results though.

 

But using Image Trace on the brush also fails because the quality is not sufficient. So you're in a tight squeeze there.

I don't think you can color images in a brush.
