Newbie color switching help

[agmbowie]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to Illustrator. While I'm working through some tutorials, I have a more pressing task and am hoping to get some directions.

I have an eps file which I need to vary the colors with, but don't know how.

This is the eps: Orange Swish

These are examples of the color mixes I'd like to create: Swish Colors

Is there a relatively straight forward way of creating these (and subsequent variations)?

Thanks in advance!

You could try the Recolor Artwork function (please read about it in the documentation).

If that does not work (and it probably wouldn't do what you want to do): the plugin Phantasm.

If that also doesn't give you what you want, you will need to edit the meshes. Try the plugin Mesh Tormentor to make that easier.
