Colors

The palette behind the whole theme, and how to use it.

Colors are a fundamental aspect of the theme, and understanding how to work with them will help you achieve the best results and enhance your site’s overall appearance.

To manage and edit colors go to Appearance -> Customize -> Styling -> Colors

Base Palette

The color palette defines the base colors of your site based on your brand guidelines.

It is a set of 8 colors by default but you can add more colors by clicking the ➕ icon in upper part of colors strip.

Base palette colors are utilized to be used throughout all color pickers as references so when you update a color in the base palette, every other reference is updated automatically as well.

You can also choose from predefined palettes by clicking the 🎨 palette icon.

Default Color Palette

When the colors are modified, the ✏️ icon will show up instead of the ➕ icon where you can save the current set of colors as a palette:

Custom colors can be saved as new palette

After you save the palette, it appears in the list of Custom Palettes as Palette X where X is an ordered number:

List of theme defined palettes with custom user palettes

You can also export or import existing palettes including current colors in the same dialog by clicking Export/Import tab:

Export and/or Import current palette colors and custom user palettes
