Color Palette

Save and reuse your organization's brand colors

The Colors palette is your shared set of go-to hex colors—think brand blues, Advent purple, VBS neon—so the team isn’t reinventing the wheel every time they start a campaign. Saved colors show up in the color picker for campaigns (and for Channel Schedules on Plus). Available on Essentials and Plus.

1. How the Palette Works

Colors are saved once for the whole organization (not per campus). When someone adds or changes a swatch in Colors, everyone with access sees it in the next color picker they open.

Who can manage the palette

Anyone who can edit a campaign (or a Channel Schedule) can open its Color picker. Roles with palette view see Saved colors; everyone editing can still use Custom color for any hex. See User Permissions and Roles.

2. Opening Colors

1. Click Colors in the sidebar (palette icon).
2. A side panel titled Colors opens with your swatches in a grid—each circle shows its hex underneath (for example #004D65).

If you can create colors, you’ll also see a dashed circle labeled Add color. If you don’t see Colors at all, check your role with an Owner or Admin.

3. Adding Colors

1. Open Colors.
2. Click Add color (dashed circle with +).
3. Pick a color in the system color picker.
4. It saves automatically—no separate Save button. Hex appears under the new swatch.

There’s no name field on a color—just the hex. Colors are normalized for you (six-digit hex). There’s no hard cap on how many you can save; keep the list focused so picking stays easy.

Tips: Save primary brand colors first, then seasons or ministries you reuse often. Prefer palette swatches over one-off customs when you want the calendar to feel consistent.

4. Editing Saved Colors

1. Open Colors.
2. Click a color circle (Change color).
3. Choose a new color; the update saves when you finish (blur / short delay).

Only Owners, Admins, and Managers can edit. Editors can view but not change swatches.

Important: Campaigns (and schedules) store a hex value, not a live link to the palette entry. If you edit a saved color, existing campaigns that already used the old hex keep the old color until you update them. New picks use the updated swatch.

5. Deleting Colors

1. Open Colors.
2. Hover a swatch and click the remove control (Remove color).
3. It’s removed immediately—there’s no confirmation step.

The swatch disappears from the palette and from Saved colors in pickers. Anything already colored with that hex keeps looking the same until you change it on that campaign or schedule.

6. Using Saved Colors

When you create or edit a campaign, use the Color field:

1. Click the color circle.
2. Under Saved colors, pick a swatch. If you have more than ten, use Show All (N) / Show Less.
3. Or open Custom color for any hex that isn’t in the palette.

The selected saved color is highlighted (emerald ring). Order follows each color’s position in the Colors panel.

The same Saved colors / Custom color picker appears when you set a Color on a Channel Schedule (Plus). Communications generally follow their campaign’s color on the calendar—there isn’t a separate communication color picker like the campaign one.

Editors (and anyone who can edit the campaign) can still choose saved or custom colors even if they can’t manage the palette itself.

7. Tips

• Start with brand colors; prune swatches you don’t use.
• Prefer saved colors over random customs so Advent doesn’t become five slightly different reds.
• Coordinate before big palette cleanups—the palette is org-wide and deletes aren’t undoable from the UI.

8. Troubleshooting

I don’t see Colors in the sidebar
You’re likely a Viewer, or you don’t have palette view. Ask an Owner or Admin.

I can see colors but can’t add or edit
That’s normal for Editors (view-only). Ask an Owner, Admin, or Manager to change the palette.

Saved colors look empty in the picker
Add swatches in the sidebar Colors panel, then reopen the picker. You can always use Custom color in the meantime.

I changed a palette color but an old campaign still looks the same
That campaign still has the previous hex stored. Open the campaign and pick the color again (or a new custom hex).
