Choosing & Working with Colors in Easil

Color is an important part of a professional design. A consistent palette helps your campaign artwork feel cohesive and easier to recognise.

You can apply colors to text, backgrounds, table cells, and color-editable graphics from the color options in the editor.

Template Colors

Template Colors are the colors already used in your design. Use them when adding new text, graphics, or table styling so the design stays consistent.

Open the color options and select a swatch from the Template Colors section.

Brand Colors

If your team has a Brand Kit, your Brand Colors appear in the color options. Select a Brand Color to apply an approved team color to selected text, graphics, backgrounds, or table cells.

If your team has named its Brand Colors, hover over a matching color swatch to see the color name above the hex code. Named Brand Colors can also appear in other color sections when the swatch matches a color in your Brand Kit, including Template Colors, Image Colors, Background Color, and Element Colors.

Select a Brand Color swatch to apply it. Scroll the color row when there are more swatches than fit on screen.

Image Colors

Image Colors are generated from the images used in your design. They are helpful when you want text, graphics, or backgrounds to match the tones in a photo.

Open Image Colors to view the colors picked from each image in your design. Select any swatch to apply it to the selected item.

Using the Color Picker

Use the Color Picker when you want to choose a custom color that is not already in your template, Brand Kit, or image colors.

Open the Color Picker to choose from the color spectrum, or enter a specific Hex or RGB value.

Once you use a new color, it also becomes available in Template Colors so you can reuse it throughout the design.

Update all colors

To quickly update all matching instances of a color in a design, select the update all checkbox at the bottom of the color picker popout before applying the new color.

This option appears when Easil finds the same color used elsewhere in text boxes, graphic elements, table cells, or page backgrounds. It does not update colors inside photographic images.
