Most people here use Dropbox  for Ai files - a free account  is ok and always useful to have -

and link the file here

this is the sample. follow the given steps to edit:

1. first open your layer panel in Illustrator and hide all layer expect the two blue one. now you can easily edit the color by clicking on the artboard.

2. unhide all hide layer. now to change the color of black lace. then uncheck this yellow highlighted box. now hide the painted type layer and blue layer only. now select the black lace. choose object> expand. as you click on expand, you will be able to change the color.

hope your problem is resolved. waiting for your response.

The black group and blue path are the easy things to edit. I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the OP is asking about the orange brush strokes, which are images.

corinal​: Jacob's suggestion to recolour this in Photoshop was a good one. I was able to edit the orange brush strokes very quickly and easily using colour range and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.

thank you. any idea for the orange color?

[corinal]

geoff, i need the orange color ( f95c25 ) to change it to f8fba2

[corinal]

this works for example, but i dont know how to change to a specific color.

[anjub48986231]

the main problem with the color editing it that  it is a pattern. so you can change the other color as it is already said. now come to pattern work.

firstly hide all your layer expect the @pattern layer in @illustrator. now click on pattern layer and unmask the layer. then choose object>ungroup.

now choose edit> edit colors>adjusr color balance.

here fill the CMKY format of color you want to adjust.  after this your pattern color is changed.
