Applying color using the toolbox” on page 157 and “Using the
Color palette” on page 158.)
To apply a fill and stroke to a mask:
1 With the direct-selection tool, select the mask you want to fill or stroke.
2 Use the Fill selection box or the Stroke selection box in the toolbox or Color palette to
choose the mask’s fill or stroke. If the Color palette is not visible, choose Window > Color.

The fill is drawn below the clipped objects, and the stroke is drawn on top.
