How do I change the color of a rectangle in Photoshop?

Published in Photoshop Colors 1 min read

To change the color of a rectangle in Photoshop, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Shape Layer: Ensure you're in Expert mode in Photoshop. Find the layer containing the rectangle you want to recolor in the Layers panel.

  2. Access Color Picker: Double-click the thumbnail of the shape layer in the Layers panel. This will open the Color Picker.

  3. Choose New Color: Select a new color from the Color Picker. You can use the visual color selector, or enter specific color values (e.g., RGB, Hex).

  4. Confirm the Color: Click OK to apply the selected color to the rectangle. The rectangle's color should update immediately.

Troubleshooting:

  • Layer Styles: If the color doesn't change after selecting a new one, check if the layer has a layer style applied (indicated by a style icon in the Layers panel). Layer styles can override the fill color. You may need to adjust or remove the layer style to change the rectangle's base color.
