Generative Recolor
Generative Recolor uses Adobe Firefly to recolor vector artwork on the Firefly website AND within the current version of Adobe Illustrator.
In Illustrator, simply open a vector graphic, select the object on the canvas and choose Recolor from the Properties Panel, then select Generative Color from the Recolor panel. type in any text prompt you want or use one of the samples. I opted for the prompt, "Sunset" for my vector logo
