All right, in this video we're gonna look at using branded  colors and also the Adobe color libraries. So we're gonna open up an exercise file. So go to file open at, open up the color FA. Great, and we're gonna go recolor this, um,  aliene octopus thing, okay? And to do it, we could obviously select it and go through  and pick different colors from here,  and there's nothing wrong with that. Um, but if you want branded colors, you've got  to use this little rainbow colored wheel up here.

And let's go here. You can type in your RGB colors  or this hexa decimal number here. So you just kind of like type over  the top of them to get your colors. Now let's say though that we are experimenting with colors  and we're not forced into branded colors,  and we get to kind of experiment with some other things. Adobe colors are really cool little websites. So what happens is, um, I go to my,  I need to open up my window.

I'm gonna open up my, um,  this thing here called CC Libraries. This is built into all the new Adobe products  and it links to my, um, my library. Mine's quite full. Yours might be empty if you're new to it. What you need to do is you need to switch out to,  I'm gonna go to Chrome. I'm gonna switch out to color.adobe.com.

Okay? And you'll see in here that color adobe.com. Uh, I've logged into this website. If you haven't logged into, um,  the website using your Adobe id,  the same one you've used in Adobe Animate. So there's me, okay? Uh, that's my email address  and I can check in Adobe Animate under help that there's  that same email address again.

Okay? So that's  how I know I'm kinda logged into the same account. Um, and in here, this create is quite interesting. Um, you might have, uh, say, uh, color here. You might type it in, say this is your, you play around  with your H uh, CMYK colors or switch it down here. There's RGB.

And this is, say,  this is the corporate color you have to stick to. It's some kind of ready kind of brown color. And what you can do up here is you can go in here  and say, I want, uh, complimentary colors to this,  or, uh, colors from the triad,  monochromatic colors from there. And it just helps you kind of pick five color swatches  that you might start using in your, um, graphics. So yeah, it helps me when I'm kind of,  I get stuck using the same old  colors every time I do something. Everything's green and gray.

Uh, so this helps me kind  of bust out of that, trying to find some other colors  that I might use as a nice little group. Um, all right, so that's one thing. Um, create, I love this explore thing. So the explore thing is the nice bit. These are the most used colors of all time, uh, that are,  um, what it means is that people have downloaded them  and used them in their projects the most. So you'll find that this some really  nice stuff at the top here.

You can also do some searches. Uh, I'm gonna type in the eighties  and you'll see that hopefully we get some eighties colors. Okay? So there's some really good eighties colors in here. So if I pick eighties, what is this one? I think this one fanny pack.

I think I've used this before. Um, gulp. So I'm gonna hit save. And what happens is eighties, okay,  it's just called, uh, flashback eighties. That's great. I can save it to,  can you see the different libraries in here?

I've got lots in here. You might just have probably one my library,  which you should, um, you can give it a different name. You might call it the Bring your Laptop eighties. Okay? And you save it. And what happens is in Adobe Animate,  you'll see here in a second if you're in the right library,  there it is there, bring your laptop eighties appears.

And what it means is you can select on these guys,  and I can say, I want you to be that color. I want his eyes  to be This color. Okay? And I'm gonna pick these circles underneath. Pick another color. Oh, I didn't pick those at all.

Okay? And you can kind of start ADing your, um, your logo,  your, you know, your, uh, design. You can see what I did there. I tried to move my library  and it got snapped next to this. That's totally fine, but I'm gonna unsnap it. Okay?

Just means that this guy's kind of in the way. So I was trying to move it around what you might do. Oh, now I've just joined it to the top. Stop moving it around in. Okay, so I'm gonna move it kind  of safely here in the middle. And what I'm looking for is the bottom of this thing here.

So I don't want to join there. I want you, Okay, so I wanna make it a little bit smaller  and I can't quite reach the bottom  mainly because of my dock. There he is there. Wow. Plava. Okay, so say you are using this thing quite a bit,  your libraries, which you might do, you can click hold  and drag it and just dump it into underneath this guy here.

It means it just kind of pops in and out. It's a nicer way of using it. All right, so this guy here, remember this guy? This guy's ungroup. He was really easy to color. Now what we can do is I want to go in,  I'm gonna bop this out  and I want to change my background stage color.

So I'm gonna pick, it's a little hard to pick actually,  because the stage pops out and this guy pops back in. So I'm back to having that out. And where is my eighties colors? There you are. Disco inferno. Look at that.

Oh, they're all terrible. Okay, great. I'm gonna pop you back in there, my friend. And this one here has been grouped. Now remember, instead of, um, ungrouping it,  what we can do is double click it. Everything else kind of graze out  and I can't touch it, okay?

And I'm inside this group, so I'm gonna click on this part  and I'm gonna go, where's this guy? And I'm gonna pick That  and this color I'm gonna pick. Wow, this is tragic. None of them are good. Okay? So I've picked eighties.

You can do searches for in here. So let's go back to explore. And I'm gonna do search. There's things like cafe  and you can kinda get cafe style colors. Uh, you can put bank and you get random stuff. You see they've gone of coffee colors in here.

Um, there's lots of ways of searching. And, uh, surprisingly how many kind  of corporate colors are in here? So you're doing work for, I don't know, um, for Dell, okay? And you will find often, I'm guessing here,  you'll find their kind of brand colors ready  to go specked up. Okay? So, um, lots of Dell stuff in there.

Um, I'm from Auckland and New Zealand type in Auckland. It's surprising what kind of Auckland colors appear in here. So these are designers who have uploaded colors to share. You can see here's Auckland Cityscape. That's the Auckland Council Colors, ATS, Auckland Transport. There's some really good useful colors in here  that you might loads  and loads of Auckland, ring a toto, all sorts of stuff.

Okay? So sesh, you search your company or business  and you might find something works for you. But again, remember under all themes, the most popular  or the most used, okay? We'll give you some really fresh,  new colors to start working with. All right? So that's how to use your branded colors  and also how to dive into Adobe color with no, you, okay?

I'm a dirty foreigner, so I have use an all my color. You'll see it in the file names there. All right, see you in the next video.
