Working with Color > Specifying stroke and fill attributes

To specify stroke or fill color, you can use the Stroke and Fill controls in the toolbox, the Ink Bottle and Paint Bucket tools, or the Stroke panel and Fill panel. To modify stroke style or line weight, you use the Stroke panel. To create or edit gradient fills or apply bitmap fills, you use the Fill panel.

When you create new objects with the drawing and painting tools, the objects are painted with the attributes specified in the tools' Stroke and Fill controls. You can also change the stroke and fill attributes of existing objects.

You can copy stroke or fill attributes from one object to another using the Eyedropper tool.
