Global Colors
Global colors allow you to define a color palette and link the individual colors to any or all widget with color settings. The color of any element that is linked to the global colors will automatically be updated when the linked color is changed in the global colors settings. This allows you to quickly make color changes, which helps reduce design time and ensures your site's style is consistent across pages.
Configure Global Colors
To configure global colors:
In the side panel, click Design, then select Global Colors.
Click the Plus icon next to Primary, or whichever setting you need to define.
Type the HEX or RGB value of the desired color, or use the eye dropper tool to select a color.
Repeat these steps as necessary for each global color. Next, you need to connect the colors to widgets on your site.
Automatically Configure Global Colors
The automatic global colors generator scans your site and detects the most frequently used colors. It generates a list of colors to select from, and once selected, those colors become your global colors and are connected to your site widgets.
On your Dashboard, click Create New Site.
Select a template and click Start Building. The following templates have the ability to auto-generate global colors: SEO Consultant Landing Page, Real Estate Agency, Insurance Company, Roofing Company, Plumber, Blank Real Estate Agency, Professional CV, Gardener, and Accountant.
In the side panel, click Design, then click Global Colors.
Click Start connecting colors.
Click Connect it for me or I'll connect it myself.
(Optional) If you selected I'll connect it myself, click the Plus icon next to each color in the design panel and select the colors individually.
Select which of the generated colors you want to use.
Click Save & Connect Colors.
The colors will populate in the Global Colors section of the design panel.
Connect Global Colors to Widgets
To connect a widget to a global color:
Click a widget to open it’s settings menu.
Open the color settings and select one of the global colors listed at the top.
Repeat as necessary for other elements.
Once a widget is connected to global colors it will automatically update when the linked global color is updated.
Permissions
Account owners automatically have global design permissions and can edit, view, and use global colors. Team members and clients who do not have global design permissions can view and use global colors, but they cannot edit them.
