Hi,

I am trying to make a color gradient in Illustrator 10; however, everytime i select gradient as the fill I lose all my color options and can only do a greyscale gradient.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

SL
 
Window Menu/Gradient

To replace a color in Gradient window, drag a swatch from swatches palette over the little color indicator. To add a color, drag a swatch from swatch palette to the gradient. You can also make a color in the color window and drag that to the gradient and/or swatches pallette.

Once you've made the gradient, drag the box from the gradient window into the swatches window to keep it.
 
Forgot something: to remove a color from a gradient, drag it's slider off the gradient. There must be at least 2 colors in the gradient window
 
Sometimes you need to select if it will be a linear or radial gradient before it will give you the option to change colors.
