Understanding Custom Colour Values
Custom colour values allow you to maintain brand consistency across your website and funnels by defining and applying a specific colour scheme. This feature is particularly useful for:
Ensuring all elements on your website match your brand's colour palette.
Quickly updating the colour scheme across multiple pages or elements without having to edit each one individually.
How to Implement Custom Colour Values
Implementing custom colour values involves a few straightforward steps. Let's break down the process using practical examples:
Identifying Colour Codes
First, decide on the colours you want to use. Each colour has a unique hexadecimal (hex) code, a six-digit code that begins with a hash (#). For example, the hex code for green is #00FF00.
Creating Custom Values
Navigate to the custom values section within the CRM.
Create a new custom value for each colour you plan to use. For instance, you might create a custom value named "button colour" and assign it the hex code for pink (#FFC0CB).
Copy the Custom Value key for quick access.
Applying Custom Values
Open the website or funnel editor.
Select the element you wish to customise, such as a button.
Instead of directly inputting a colour code, paste the key of the custom value you created.
Save your changes.
Troubleshooting Tips
Sometimes, you might encounter issues where the custom colour doesn't immediately apply. Here are a few tips to resolve common problems:
Refreshing the Editor: If the custom colour doesn't show up, try refreshing the editor page to ensure it recognises the newly created custom value.
Checking for Typos: Ensure the custom value name is correctly referenced without any typos or extra spaces.
