This is a very helpful tool if you have a complex design and want to select all of the same color either by line color or fill color.

The Select By Color tool can be found in two location in Silhouette Studio.

The fastest way is the Select By Color icon in the top toolbar of Silhouette Studio as shown above.

But, you can also find it under the Edit menu in the top left corner of the Silhouette Studio software too.

Once you have selected the tool, a panel will open on the right side and you have several options that you can use.
Click on either the By Line or the By Fill option at the top and you will see a list of colors for the design on the screen show up.

Select a color of your choice and all of the pieces of that same color will be selected at once. This comes in handy when you have multiple pieces throughout a design and want to easily group them together quickly or select them all for any reason.
