Managing Colors in InstantPage

Last Updated: June 4, 2012 8:06 AM

InstantPage® lets you select colors for your website's background, text, and content blocks. You can select a palette that combines complementary colors, and you can also select colors individually.

You can modify theme colors of website elements. For example, you can select colors individually, or you can make blocks transparent if you don't want the background to display.

Once you find a color scheme you like for your website, we recommend you save that palette. While InstantPage automatically saves and publishes changes to the content of your website, you must manually save a palette you create.
