Assign a color to a layer or group

Color coding layers and groups helps you locate related layers in the Layers palette.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Select a layer or group, and choose Layer Properties or Group Properties from the Layers menu or the Layers palette menu.

    • For groups, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and double-click the layer (not its name or thumbnail) in the Layers palette.

  2. Choose a color from the Color pop‑up menu, and click OK.
