What Are Color Styles?
Color Styles let you save and manage frequently used colors, such as brand colors, in one place. Instead of manually entering color codes each time you add an element, you can apply a saved color instantly.
You can also organize your saved colors using labels and hierarchical groups, making color management more streamlined.
This guide will walk you through how to set up and manage Color Styles.
Managing Colors with Color Styles
In addition to saving colors, Color Styles allow you to assign labels and organize them into hierarchical groups.
Adding Labels
You can assign custom labels to your Color Styles (e.g., "Primary Color," "Background"). Using clear labels helps teams collaborate efficiently and maintain consistent color use within a project. You can edit labels anytime.
Organizing with Hierarchy
You can create hierarchical groups by separating label names with a forward slash ("/"). This works like a folder system, making it easier to organize multiple colors.
For example, if you want to categorize text colors for headings and body text, you can label them as "Text/Heading" and "Text/Body." This automatically groups them under the "Text" category.
Note: Label names can be up to 50 characters long, including slashes used for hierarchy.
Use Cases
Here’s how Color Styles can improve your workflow:
Consistent Team Collaboration
Registering colors in Color Styles ensures all team members use the same colors, preventing inconsistencies across the project.
Efficient Color Auditing
With Selection Colors, you can quickly identify colors that are not defined in Color Styles before publishing, ensuring uniformity across your site.
Easier Site-Wide Color Updates
If you need to change your color theme, updating a Color Style will automatically apply the change everywhere it's used—no need for manual adjustments.
