Colors on the board

There are 16 default colors in the palette. You can apply them to any drawing, shape, connection line, frame, table, card, or text. The palette is the same across these tools and makes it much easier to create great-looking content.

⚠️ Sticky notes palette is separate and limited to 16 colors.

Adding new colors

To add a new color, open the color palette and click on the + icon. You will see the color spectrum open. When you add a new color, it is added to the color palette of all tools and the change is applied to your profile.

Note that the color palette of sticky notes is not customizable.

Color palette of a shape

There are three ways to add a new color to your palette:

1. From the color spectrum: move the slider and just click on the place on the spectrum and then on the canvas to save the color. 

3. By using the color picker: click the tool icon and click/drag anywhere on your board to pick up the color.

The customized palette applies to every board in your profile. If you change a color of a shape/sticky note/card and add a new shape/sticky note/card to the board, the object will be the previously used color until you reload the board.

 

Removing colors

If you want to clear the palette of unused colors, just click-and-drag them outside the palette. Please note that the 16 default colors cannot be removed.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I change the background color of the board?
   - At the moment, there is no possibility to change the background color, but we can suggest using frames: frames act like pages that other objects stick to, so you can change their background color. Create a frame, change its color, and lock it to prevent it from moving accidentally.
   
   
2. Can I change the color of several objects at once?
   - Yes, select the objects and filter them. Change the color on the context menu.
