How do you change the color of a layer?

• A. Double-click the layer to rename it
• B. Use the Swatches panel to apply color to the layer
• C. Click a layer. Click the Layer Panel Options button. Select "Options for Layer". Click the color dropdown and choose a color.
• D. Use the Color Replacement tool on the layer

Answer: (C)

Changing a layer’s color tag in the Layers panel is the way to visually organize layers. This color tag is just for identification and doesn’t affect the artwork on the layer. To set it, select the layer, click the Layer Panel Options button, choose Options for Layer, then pick a color from the color dropdown. The layer will show that color next to its name in the panel. Renaming only changes the name, not the tag color; applying color via Swatches affects the artwork on the layer, not the layer’s color tag; and the Color Replacement tool edits the artwork itself, not the layer color.
