Can only use Black and White

[schmurrbob]

I've seen some problems with strokes converting to black and white. My problem is that even the swatch only offers black, white, and empty. How do I fix this?

Probably caused by opening a non-Illustrator file (like an image).

Those do not contain swatches.

Load them from the swatches panel menu.

Good to hear that helped.
