What is the palette?

The palette is a collection of colours that can be used anywhere within the admin area where colours are selected. This allows you to add and organise a range of colours that you can then apply in multiple places directly from a colour selector.

This is very useful if you have brand colours or a specific colour range that you want to apply quickly and consistently throughout your site.

How do I apply transparency to colours?

Transparency is supported wherever possible, however some supporting technologies such as email do not currently support the RGB colour model used to apply transparency.

In the admin area

  1. Open a colour selector.

  2. If transparency is supported, a slider will be displayed beneath the colour picker.

  3. Drag the slider to the left to increase transparency or to the right to increase opacity.

  4. Click the Choose button.

See the example below:
