Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:27 pm

Adding a color palette to your Canva account is a great way to ensure your designs have a consistent look and feel. There are two ways to add a color palette to your account:

1. Use the color picker tool:
When you’re creating a design, click on the “Color” tab in the editor sidebar. Then, click on the “Custom colors” option.

This will open the color picker tool, where you can choose any color you like. To add a color to your palette, simply click on the plus sign (+) next to the color.

2. Import an image with colors:
If you have an image that contains colors that you would like to use in your designs, you can import it into Canva and extract a palette from it.

To do this, click on the “Uploads” tab in the editor sidebar and select the “Upload an image” option. Find the image you want to use and click on it to upload it to Canva.

PRO TIP: If you are not a Canva Pro user, you will not be able to add a color palette to your design. Canva Pro users have access to the Color Palette feature, which allows them to create and save custom color palettes for their designs.

Once the image is uploaded, click on it to open it in the editor. Then, click on the “Extract colors” button in the top toolbar.

This will open the color palette tool, where you can select which colors you want to add to your palette. Simply click on each color swatch to add it to your palette. You can also adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness of each color before adding it.
