Layers and color
By default, Illustrator assigns a unique color to each layer in the Layers panel.
The color displays next to the layer name in the panel. The same color
displays in the artwork bounding box, path, anchor points, and center point of
a selected object.
You can use this color to quickly locate an object's corresponding layer in the
Layers panel, and you can change the layer color to suit your needs.
Each layer and sublayer can have a unique color.

Selecting and moving objects and layers
By rearranging the layers in the Layers panel, you can change the stacking order of objects in
your artwork. On an artboard, objects in layers that are higher in the Layers panel list are in
front of objects located on layers lower in the list. You can also move objects between
layers and sublayers.
First, you'll move the knobs into the knobs sublayer.
