Displays colors as a set of segmented color patches. This wheel makes it easy to see individual colors, but doesn’t provide
as many colors to choose from as the continuous wheel.
Color bars
Displays only colors from the color group. They appear as solid bars of color that you can select and edit individually.
You can reorganize colors in this display by dragging and dropping color bars to the left or right. You can right-click a
color and choose to remove it, set it as the base color, change its shade, or change it using the Color Picker.

Save changes to a color group
Before you start editing your color groups, make sure that you know how to save your changes correctly so you don’t
inadvertently overwrite your favorite color group! You have two options when saving your changes: you can overwrite
the original color group with the edited color group, or you can create a new color group with the changes, leaving the
original intact.
❖
Do either of the following:
• To keep your original color group unchanged and save the changes as a new color group, click New Color Group
at the top of the Edit Colors/Recolor Artwork dialog box.
