In fact, in this doc when I click on the item I want to recolour and then look to find out the hex value (using fill and stroke) it says that no colour is selected. I looked up the hex value of my original colour and of the new one and tried it. It is repeated quite a few times in the overall design, and I want to change the colour in every instance, so I thought I would just use "extensions > color > change color". Now I want to change the colour of one of the items. They were about the second thing I ever did with Inkscape (and before I finished going through tutorials, etc) so all I did after scanning them in was use the paintbucket to colour them. They started off black with a white background. They were originally used for screen prints, and that is the effect I want to keep - just solid colour in the shapes that I've scanned in - very simple. With the first one, I have scanned in some paper cut outs to create my original drawings, so they are solid objects. I think I'll just start with one here and see how I go and whether it answers both questions anyway. I have two separate, but related problems and they're both to do with colouring a drawing that I've been working on in Inkscape. I've gone through the online manuals and searched the tutorials for relevant examples, but I just can't seem to make it work! Hoping it's a simple one, but I have been trying to work out what I'm doing wrong with this for days.
