I was in the middle of drawing, when suddenly all color, gradients and pictures disappeared. Why? How do i get them to come back? All color and pictures are still visable in the layers and it looks normal in the preview when i open illustator, but when i open the document, all color is still gone. Please help!

Bless you! I must have slipped in that keystroke by mistake because after hours of work the color suddenly disappeared everywhere but in the thumbnails and showed the same on my latest backup copy! You just saved my day!
