How does the Color Picker tool work?
Some designs allow you to choose a custom HEX color for backgrounds or accents. These cards will have a 'Custom Color' identifier when browsing the Holiday Card options.
Some card designs (not all) include a color picker tool to customize the background colors of the card design. You can find a color you want with a color code finder or the Adobe Color Wheel. This visual tool gives you a quick hex code you can enter for any color you select from the spectrum.
