Hi there,

I used to use the eyedropper within the recolour artwork tool to select colours from anywhere on my artboard. Specifically as a textile designer I would need to match new artwork colours to old artwork colours so using the eye dropper tool for this in the recolour tool was the fastest way to change specific colours within my artwork.
Adobe have since removed it in version 30.0 and its gone from older versions as well (29.8.2). Please adobe can you bring back the eyedropper within recolour artwork, or suggest a fast way around this.

Thanks

Hi @Caitlin290096773bto,

Thanks for reporting this. I’m currently checking the behavior with the product team and will update this thread as soon as I have more information.

In the meantime, could you please confirm your exact Illustrator version and operating system version?

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for reaching out. Could you share a small screen recording of your exact workflow when trying to use Recolor, so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
