Exactly. That’s what Cmd/Ctrl+Y does.

    On a Windows machine it is Ctrl-Y.

      It seems you are viewing your artwork in "Outline" mode.

      Choose View > Preview to see all fill colours again.

          Does and UNdoes...   🙂

          Press it again - and the lines will regain their color!
