I have a client's logo, (not designed by me) that we are changing a little. HOWEVER the shapes I can SEE in color have no color in the swatches OR in the layers.
As you can see below (first image), I've selected the light turquoise shape. But in color swatches (and in layers) it has no color. This is true of anything in color.
If I select the black outline (second image) it reads as black, as it should. If I delete it (third image) It takes the black shape and also the dark turquoise shape.
I don't see any masks or compound paths. This is making me wild.
I just want to be able to select the "colored" shapes. We want to change his mask a little and maybe change the colors for a specific event.
Thanks for any insight or advise.

This is a live paint group.
If you want to have them as shapes, you need to expand the live paint group (button is in the control panel).
It won't be easily editable afterwards.

So there's no way to revise this?

I don't think I understand what exactly you want to do.
Here's a piece of documentation on Live paint groups. It's pretty good: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/live-paint-groups.html

I want to revise the image. But I can see that doing it in illustrator isn't the answer. (Unless I'm missing something.)
I guess I have to figure out Live Paint.
Thanks

Exactly what is it that you want to edit?
DOing it in Illustrator is the only answer, because a Live paint group is a native Illustrator object.
