Edit colors in the Edit Colors dialog box

Editing colors in the Edit Colors/Recolor Artwork dialog box is a convenient way to globally adjust the colors in
selected artwork. It is especially useful when global colors weren't originally used in the artwork’s creation. You can edit
colors and color groups in the Edit Colors/Recolor Artwork dialog box and apply your edits to selected artwork, or save
the edited colors for later use.

When editing colors, you use the smooth color wheel, the segmented color wheel, or the color bars.

Smooth color wheel

Displays hue, saturation, and brightness in a smooth continuous circle. Each color in the current color group is drawn
on the wheel inside a circle. This wheel lets you choose from numerous colors with great precision, but it can be hard
to see individual colors because every pixel is a different color.

Segmented color wheel
