The Color panel displays the current fill and stroke of the selected content. The
CMYK sliders in the Color panel show the percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow,

Click the Swatches panel icon ( ) on the right side of the workspace.
You can name and save different types of colors, gradients, and patterns in the
Swatches panel as swatches so that you can apply and edit them later. Swatches are
listed in the Swatches panel in the order in which they were created, but you can
reorder or organize the swatches into groups to suit your needs. All documents
start with a set number of swatches, but any colors in the Swatches panel are avail-
able to the current document only (by default), since each document has its own
defined swatches.
