I have imported the ASE file from Sherwin Williams but unable to color match existing artwork color to the Sherwin William color swatches. For an example, I have a blue color and I want to match that blue color with a Sherwin Williams color...i.e. SW 6811 Blue. In Corel, the eyedropper tool will show the color in the Color Docker when doing color sample. Is there such things in Illustrator?

So you want to replace your colors with those swatches?

Try and use Edit > Edit colors > Recolor artwork

Here is a detail example

Ai Color is a navy blue with 100, 82, 30, 21

SW closest match is SW 6811 Honorable Blue

In Corel, I just use the eye drop tool, click on a color, and my color docker windows show that color in SW color, then I can select fill to fill if i want. I need something similar to that in Illustrator. I hope this makes more sense.
