Deleting a color in multi-stage fills
Applies to Linear, Circular, Elliptical, Conical and Diamond fills. Multi-stage fills let you have several different colors in your fill. So, a fill could run red-green-red yellow; you have full control over the colors used and where the colors change.
To delete a color
The Fill arrow shows a handle for each color in the fill. You cannot delete the Start and End colors.
1. Click on a color handle to select it.
2. Press the Delete key.
Note:
The Selector Tool can also display the Fill arrow. See Enabling fill handles.
