Using layer highlight colors
To help distinguish layers, you can assign them different highlight colors. The highlight color affects only the onscreen preview, not the color of objects.
To change a layer's highlight color, do one of the following:
![]() |
Drag a color from the color box in the Swatches panel or Color Mixer panel to the color box next to the layer name. |
![]() |
Drag a layer color from another layer in the Layers panel. |
Note: When using the Swatches panel, ensure it is not docked to the Layers panel.
