You can apply stroke and fill colors to objects, selected or not, by dragging color
swatches from the Color Mixer or Tints panel or from the color list in the
Swatches panel. You can apply colors to selected objects using the Stroke and Fill
inspectors, or the pop-up color palettes in the Tools panel.
You can also apply colors by using the Eyedropper tool to drag colors from other
objects in the active document.
The stroke and fill boxes on the Tools panel open a color palette that by default
displays a list of Web-ready colors called Color Cubes. You can change the palette's
display to show the color list from the Swatches panel.
For information on applying color to text, see "Applying color to text and text
