Step 2: Navigating to Colors

Once you are in the Designer, you can start customizing your color scheme by accessing the Colors panel.

To navigate to Colors:

  1. On the left-hand side of the screen, locate and click on the “Colors” tab.

When you open the Colors panel, you will see a list of all colors used on your website. By default, Webflow provides a few pre-defined colors.

Step 3: Changing Existing Colors

To change an existing color:

  1. Locate and click on the color swatch that you want to modify from the list.
  2. A color picker will appear where you can select a new hue or enter a specific HEX or RGB value for precise customization.
  3. Select or enter your desired color value and press “Enter”. The selected element will update with the new color immediately.

Step 4: Adding New Colors

In addition to changing existing colors, Webflow allows you to add new custom colors to your color palette. This can be handy if you have a specific color scheme in mind.

To add a new color:

  1. Click on the “Add New Color” button located at the bottom of the Colors panel.
  2. A color picker will appear. Select or enter the desired color value, and press “Enter”.
  3. The newly added color will now be available in your color palette, ready for use.

Step 5: Applying Colors to Elements

Now that you have customized your color scheme, it’s time to apply these colors to different elements on your website.

To apply colors:

  1. Select the element that you want to style with a specific color.
  2. In the Styles panel, locate and click on the paintbrush icon next to the desired property (e.g., background-color, font-color).
  3. A dropdown will appear showing all available colors from your palette. Select the desired color, and it will be applied immediately.

You can repeat this process for each element you want to style with a specific color.

Conclusion

Changing the color scheme in Webflow is a straightforward process that allows you to create a visually appealing design for your website. By accessing the Designer and navigating to Colors, you can change existing colors, add new custom colors, and apply them to various elements on your site.
