How can I change all the black color to another in one time instead of selecting /changing one by one? I remember there is an video in tutorial showing this but i cannot search this out now. Thank you.

    With Live Paint Bucket tool selected:

    1. Choose new fill color
    2. Double-click any one of the Live Paint shapes to fill ALL shapes containing the same color

    I would have suggested Monika's solution too.

    I did not know your solution, it works fine, but I need to triple click to get it to work.

    Thanks for catching that, Ton. Double-clicking updates contiguous shapes of the same color. Been awhile since I did it.

    Hi Claudio,

    When I have 5 layers in my AI file, they all contain black stokes and other parts of strokes maybe in purple. Now I want to change all the black in grey color. Any steps I can work this out quickly, instead of change it by each layers or stroke?

    Here is the AI forum, am I correct? Please help to redirect to right place if not. Many Thanks.
