CorelDRAW Help | Find and replace colors

Find and replace colors

To find and replace the color model or color palette of fills and outlines

You can find a color in a drawing and replace it with another color. The color replacement can be applied to all outlines, uniform fills, fountain fills, 2-color fills, mesh fills, and monochrome bitmaps in the active document. Conversely, you can replace the color only in outlines or a specific type of fill. For example, you can replace the color only in uniform fills, and leave the color untouched in other fills and object outlines.

The selected green color used in outlines and two types of fills (a fountain fill and a mesh fill) is replaced with a purple color. Original artwork by Tricia Flohr.

You can also find and replace the color model or color palette of fills and outlines.

In addition, you can expand the search range to find and replace colors on multiple pages. For more information, see To set the search range.
