About This Script

Search for all objects in your document that use a specific fill or stroke color and replace it with a different color. Supports exact color matching or fuzzy matching with a configurable tolerance (useful for slightly different shades of the same color). Works with solid colors, spot colors, and can even find colors within gradients. The script reports how many objects were modified. Includes options to match fill only, stroke only, or both. Supports replacement across all artboards or only the active artboard. Essential for rebranding projects where colors need to be updated globally.
