Select same fill colour isn't picking the same colours,

[QuirkyPaisley]

Hello,

I have a print with many shapes, paths, live paints etc. The print has around 9 colours and I rechecked using recolour tool and changed them all to the exact colours. Now I need to select all the same colours and group them. But whether I use select same or magic wand the same colours arent selected. Please help!

Select > Same does not select parts inside a live paint group.

Also: when using Recolor artwork, you have to take care that the recoloring really using the exact same color for all the other colors you remap. It's a very tiny button, but it's important.

Thank you for your reply. I have done the exact colour while recolouring . So how do I select same colours that are in live paint to group? so what's the alternative solution?

When you are done, Object > Live Paint > Expand
