change a design element color?

[Tiffer777]

I did a search for hand-drawn arrows, most of them are black, I found one I like but I need to change the color (to white).  Is this possible?

Hi Tiffer777,

Thanks for writing in. To change the color of that design asset all you need to do is open the project, click on the design, and on the right side click on "Filters" then "Duotone" then "Shadows". Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Saquib

Thank you, I understand filters and shadows, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the color of a design element.  For instanc to change a black arrow to white. Hopefully this will be a feature soon.  Thanks.

Hi @Tiffer777 , thanks for getting back to us. You can change a black arrow to white. You have to follow the steps mentioned above and play around with the "Shadows" and "Highlights" settings to change the color.
Thanks,
Saquib

Is there any way to change an element to a brand colour without knowing the hex code? There doesn't seem to be a simple button that allows all elements to be changed simply to fit in with a brand kit.

Hi, is there any news if changing colours of design elements is planned for feature relases of Adobe Express? I mean it's the most basic feature (even Canva can do) and using this filter method is a complete (unnecessary) hassle.

The amount of surveys I've been asked to fill in and give feedback for Express is unreal, all whilst nothing seems to change. They've got to blow up this version and start from scratch. I've moved solidly onto CapCut instead. I cannot understate how much of a failure Express is, it's unbelievable.

We can't use CapCut because of German bookkeeping laws and CapCut (unlike Adobe) isn't able to send proper bills. That's the only reason we turned to Express in the first place. And we use Adobe's professional products and I hoped for some form of integration.

Yes, I've 'simply' clicked on the design element and "Filters" is no-where to be seen. I just hate when you follow instructions and it's as if you're using another program.
