Creating new custom colors

Administrators can create custom color palettes to provide additional styling options for visuals and applications. A custom color can be defined as a set of distinct colors or as a gradient, depending on the needs of the visualization. Once created, the custom color becomes available for all users to apply in their visuals.

  1. Click the Gear icon on the main navigation bar to open the Administration menu and select Custom Colors.
  2. In the Manage Custom Colors interface, click NEW CUSTOM COLOR.
  3. In the Create Custom Color interface, add a name and a description for the new color.
  4. Choose one of the available color types:
    • Distinct colors
    • Gradient colors - with values
    • Gradient colors - with percentages
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click the Custom Colors tab to return to the Manage Custom Colors interface.
    The custom colors you created are added to the custom color list.

The new custom colors appear in the Style > Colors menu of visuals, next to the default colors.

The custom colors appear in the Settings Palette menu, next to the default colors.
