Working with Color Palettes

A Color Palette is a set of pre-defined text / background colors. A Color Palette is designed to make it easy for users to select a set of preferred colors, typically that match your company’s branding guidelines.

A Color Palette comprises the following elements:

  • Heading text color / background color

  • Subheading text color / background color

  • Accent text color / background color

  • Body Text text color / background color

  • Details text color / background color

When working within Master Content or within a Layout in the Content Editor, you can select one of these pre-defined Color Palettes, and the platform will automatically apply those colors to the corresponding text field elements.

Color Palettes are defined using a designated Template Set named "Color Palettes." Please see Getting Started with Template Sets for more information.
