How do I turn off grayscale in Illustrator?

Last updated on February 6, 2023 @ 8:57 am

Illustrator is a great program for creating graphics, but it can be difficult to adjust the colors to match your specific needs. Grayscale can be a problem because it alters the entire color palette.

Fortunately, there is a way to turn off grayscale in Illustrator.

PRO TIP: If you are working in the Grayscale mode in Adobe Illustrator, be sure to save your file in the grayscale format before turning off grayscale. Otherwise, you will lose all of your work in grayscale and will have to start over.

To disable grayscale in Illustrator, first, open your design.

Then, go to Edit > Edit Colors and select “Convert to RGB” from the options.

From there, open the Color window (Window > Color) to select colors for your design.

Then open the Color window options and select the RGB color from the options.

Lastly, click on the elements in your design and go to the Colors window to pick a color that you want to apply to each of them.

And there you have it! Your colors will now be 100% accurate and the program will look more like a traditional drawing program.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Illustrator, be sure to contact a professional. There are a variety of features and techniques that are beyond the scope of this article, and a professional will be able to help you take your Illustrator work to the next level.
