Applying the Color Fill Live Effect
You can use the Color Fill Live Effect to change the color of objects quickly, either by replacing
the pixels entirely with a given color or by blending a color into an existing object. When you
blend colors, the color is added on top of the object. Blending a color into an existing object is
much like using Hue/Saturation; however, blending lets you apply a specific color from a color
swatch panel quickly.

In the Property inspector, click the Add Effects button, and then choose Adjust Color >
1
Color Fill from the Add Effects pop-up menu.
