Sometimes the simplest solutions are right at your fingertips but you might not realize they’re there. Case in point: when a selected object’s fill or stroke set to a tint of a swatch color, and you want to reset it to 100%, how do you do it?
Do you use the Tint slider in the Swatches panel or the Control panel? Don’t bother. All you have to do is click on the swatch.
Boom. The fill or stroke is instantly reset to 100% of the swatch color.
