How do I change the color in the editor?
When a product or layout has a custom color option, you’ll see a rainbow color wheel in the bottom-right corner of the page, card, book page, or book cover.
Depending on the product, you may need to choose a different layout from the left-side toolbar before the custom color option appears.
To change the color:
- Click the rainbow color wheel.
- The color options will open in the left-side toolbar.
- Choose from the curated color options, or select the rainbow wheel with the plus sign to create a custom color.
How do I choose my own custom color?
After selecting the rainbow wheel with the plus sign, you can choose a custom color in a few ways:
- Move the color sliders manually until you find the color you want.
- Enter a hex code for a specific color.
- Click the dropper icon to match a color from an image on your layout or from another visible area on your screen.
How do I use a hex code?
Hex codes begin with a # followed by a combination of letters and numbers that represent a specific color.
If you have a specific color in mind, you can enter the hex code directly into the color picker. You can also use a free online tool, such as this Color Picker Tool, to find a hex code before adding it to your project.
