How to change the color of Line at Adobe Illustrator?

Not "Fill" color..I mean the Line itself
I want it to be red, not black

Hi tgdfhafdds7634534,

If you look at the bottom of your Tools palette, you'll see a Fill box in front and a Stroke behind it. Click on the Stroke symbol to move it front and make it active. Then click a Swatch and the color of the Stroke will change.

Hope this helps!
