If you can anticipate color palette changes in the future, you set up your files with spot colors and make color changes on the fly. After using Illustrator for so many years, this becomes second nature and aids in revisions. Or, use color groups, which also requires the foresight when setting up a file. Good luck, bro.

^ yes what suave said... its def not intuitive though... you can swap individual swatches or flip the entire palette to a different group or let AI suggest.
this feature is also super helpful if you have multicolor artwork that you want to convert into a 1 or 2 spot color job... will replace all colors with tints of your selected spots.
still have so so so much to learn in that edit colors feature.

I really wish Illustrator would handle swatches a little more like InDesign: delete a swatch that's been applied (used), and it should automatically ask you what you would like to replace it with.
