Change element colors
Change the color of text, backgrounds, and elements like borders, frames, grids, charts, and gradients.
If no color tiles appear on the toolbar, it means that you can’t change the element’s colors.
Change element color
- Click the element you want to edit.
- Click the color tile of the color that you want to change. The Color panel will open on the side.
- Click a color from the options shown in the color panel. Hover over the color to see its display name.
- To choose a different color, click Add a new color (the rainbow color tile) from the color panel.
- To pick a color from your design, click the Pick a color (eyedropper) button and hover your mouse over the color you want to use.
- To replace a color across the current page or the entire pages, select Current page or All pages.
💡 Tip: Document colors are now sorted by hue, saturation, and lightness, and will reflect the colors used by your current selection. You can also switch to list view in the color panel to browse colors with their names displayed.
The improved Color Panel now shows more default colors along with their display names when hovered over, except for the colors in Brand Kits, which can be named and added when creating a palette.
To easily copy and apply the same colors between charts, select the paint roller icon on the editor toolbar. More details on Copy style and format.
