is there a way to change the color of a symbol you already made? or do you basically have to remake it in the colors you want?

Editing symbols
Illustrator doesn't edit symbol artwork in the same way Flash does (double-clicking and making changes that are reflected in all instances). Instead, to edit a symbol, select an instance on the canvas, press the Break Link to Symbol button on the Symbols palette, and edit the artwork. When you're ready to update the symbol, make sure the symbol is selected in the Symbols palette, select the artwork, and choose Redefine Symbol from the flyout menu on the Symbols palette. You could also hold down Opt/Alt and drag the edited artwork onto the symbol in the palette.
