Randomize Named Colors
i love the randomize colors that freehand used to have.
l'd like to see that feature on illustrator.

Illustrator does not exactly do what FreeHand was able to with Randomize Named Color, but Recolor Artwork can somewhat emulate it.
It would require all the swatches you want to edit to be presented on canvas and selected (Recolor works only with artwork, not with a selection of swatches). Then, in Recolor artwork, you can select the color group you want to randomize (in a full version of the panel, in the right column), and then switch to Edit mode from Assign. Now you can move handles all together or unlink them and move one by one.
When Recolor is closed, you will be prompted to save changes to the color group — agree to change the original swatches. The only problem with this method is that it looses the 'global' aspect of the swathces.
