Your website's colors can be edited quickly by changing three 'Key Colors' with our Basic Colors Editor.
This is a good way to start customizing the look of your site, then you can move to the Advanced Colors Editor to fine-tune every color option available.
Basic: Overview of Key Colors
Tap the 'Colors' panel in the Design editor.
When selecting your Theme the Preset option selected will automatically set your Background Color, Text Color and Accent Color.
The default setting is the BASIC panel and changes here affect all content within your site
Background Color: the background color throughout the site
Text Color: all Headlines, Body Text, Captions, Menu Items, Blog Text and Footer Text can be set here. The Text Logo color is set separately
Accent Color: for Text Links, Site Menu Hover/Selected, Page Links and Social Links
Changing Key Colors
Tap the swatch to activate Color Picker
Use slider (up/down) on right to pick the base color

Reset All Modified Colors
If you don't like the changes made in the Basic (or Advanced) panel you can reset these to the original Preset default you selected in the Themes panel.

Presets area (under thumbnail preview) tap 'Modified'.
A warning will be displayed advising 'Changing your theme preset will reset all of your customizations'.
