About blending modes

You can blend the colors between two superimposed objects by using the blending modes in the Transparency palette.

Blending modes let you vary the ways that the colors of objects blend with the colors of underlying objects.

It's helpful to think in terms of the following colors when visualizing a blending mode's effect:

• The base color is the underlying color in the artwork.
• The blend color is the color of the selected object, group, or layer.
• The resulting color is the color resulting from the blend.
