Repeat these steps until you no longer have the "Ungroup" option available. Once it is no longer available, select the piece or pieces you would like recolored.

Once the piece has been selected, a "Drawing Tools" tab will appear on the ribbon, click the "Format" tab directly under it, then click "Shape Fill" to open a drop down menu with various coloring options.

Click on "More Fill Colors" then choose the new color for your image.

Happy Coloring.
