color a line with a clipping mask illustrator

Question

Im trying to color a line using a clipping mask but the only thing I get is to affect the saturation of the line, not the color.

Is there any option or way that doesn't involve going to every single line and coloring it individually?

Is there any option or way that doesn't involve going to every single line and coloring it individually?

Yes.

Here I have a few shapes with different fill colors and different shades of black for strokes:

Select all of the artwork (objects, groups or layers) you wish to affect and hit the Recolor Artwork button:

When the dialog opens, you'll see all of the colors in your current selection... Make sure that 'Recolor Art' is checked to preview your changes:

Notice the empty spot beside the blacks... Click on that empty spot and choose 'Yes' when prompted:

Now make sure your color(s) are highlighted (in blue as below) and double-click here on the blacks (or whichever color you wish to alter):

Now choose your replacement color and click 'OK' twice to accept the changes. And the result:

Note that only the strokes have been altered.
