The Adjust Color button on the ribbon for My Recipes view or any open recipe will adjust the grain amounts used in the recipe to match a target color level for the recipe.

 

Limitations: For recipes that have no dark colored grains or no light colored grains, the color tool may fail as it can't adjust the color without changing its original gravity.  In this case, it will typically adjust the recipe as light or dark as it can without altering the original gravity.
