Add vibrancy to your posts with customizable color palettes.

Edit a Color Palette



When you click the pencil icon for the currently selected palette, you'll be able to edit each of the 4 colors in that palette, and rotate which colors are most to least primary.


For each color in your palette, you can use the dynamic color picker to find the right color, just slide and move the two dots.
Each palette has 4 colors to define, as you edit, click these small rectangular boxes to select which color in the palette you want to modify. The order of these boxes is most primary (top) to least (bottom).
In the foreground, your post is dynamically updating to the changes you make, you can click the randomize button to change the sort order for your palette to preview how it impacts your post.
If you know the specific 6-digit Hex value for the color you want to edit, you can enter a Hex value instead of using the dynamic color picker.

Once you are done edit, click the back arrow at the top of the tray to confirm your changes.

The order from top to bottom represents which color is most primary to most secondary for your palette.

If you only want to define two colors, we recommend duplicating the two colors or making the final two black and white.

Once you finish defining your palette, click the back arrow in the tray. Your new palette will be applied to the post. By default, all added palettes are favorited.
