By adding a color palette to your brand kit, you make it easier for you and your team to pick consistent colors in your designs.
In your brand kit, there is a Colors section where you can add one or more color palettes. Each color palette is a selection of colors. Photoroom comes with a selection of color palettes that you can use or you can create your own.
Once you have added your colors to your brand kit, they become available in the Photoroom editor. They appear wherever you have the option to select a color, for example, when setting the color of text.
In this article, we explain how to add a color palette in the brand kit. But there is another way to create color palettes — you can get Photoroom to create a color palette based on the colors on an individual layer. For instructions, see Create a brand color palette from a design.
