What is Generative Recolor?

Generative Recolor is part of an innovative suite of AI-powered capabilities powered by Adobe Firefly. It enables you to recolor artwork using simple text prompts to achieve color variations in seconds.

Experimenting with sample prompt colors

Start your color experiment by clicking one of the multiple sample prompts, like Terracotta Desert! Then create other color palettes to try by clicking Generate.

Using text prompts to create variations

Enter a text description describing the color palette, mood, or theme you want to generate, and Illustrator creates multiple variations for you to explore. Experiment with those variations and click to apply the one that best suits your needs.

Making color refinements

Refine the generated color using the options in the Recolor artwork dialog box using saturation, brightness, and more.
