Overview
This plugin allows you to manage a site-wide central color palette for an uniform look’n’feel.

This plugin supports a multi-site setup of WordPress.
Also this plugin replaces the color picker for choosing a text or background color found inside the classic editor with a bigger and customizable color grid.

Große Erleichterung beim Wiederfinden eigener Farben
by mehralsheidi·1 year ago
Sehr empfehlenswert, um dieselbe Farbe einfach wieder mit ihrer #-Nummer in neue Seiten einzufügen. Dazu einfach einen extra Tab mit diesem PlugIn offen lassen und die -Farbnummer rüberkopieren auf die neue Seite.

Amazing tool when it worked.
by Brandwise·2 years ago
I truly loved this tool as it made building your brand so easy by having your branded colors ready to go everywhere you needed them on your website and development work. I used it for a few years and it was a powerful plugin. Sadly, it has stopped working a while back and doesn’t seem to be something that will be updated to work with the newer versions of WordPress. If you are using older versions of WordPress, this is a great tool, but if you are keeping your WordPress, plugins, and tools up to date this plugin no longer works. Hopefully we will see an update in the near future.
Excellent plugin!

Very useful plugin, love it! Has options for ACF, classic editor and Gutenberg too.
Just one feature is missing due to recent WP updates: gradients palette. Please try to add.
Thank you!
Super Pratique

J’aime beaucoup ce plugin, il m’est très pratique sur tous mes sites. Il permet de vous constituer une palette de couleur selon votre charte graphique. Puis vous garder toujours vos préférences, même après une mise à jour de vos thèmes.
Incredibly handy and integrates with major page builders
by Ricki Steigerwald·5 years ago
It is the first plugin I install when creating a new site so I have quick access to branding colors when customizing a theme and creating pages. Integrates seamlessly with classic and Gutenberg Editor, Elementor, Beaver Builder and the Astra theme.
