Using your Style Guide

The Styles Guide can be accessed through the Studio Admin and is a huge asset when trying to quickly spin up page with a consistent brand, design, and voice.

Colors​

Colors control your entire site's colors in the 7 different areas;

  • Brand primary
  • Success
  • Warning
  • Dark background
  • Light background
  • Dark text
  • Light text

Success and warning can be green-ish and orange-ish colors, or anything you'd like. As for the rest, we suggest an online app like coolors.co for generating it.

What colors do we accept?

We accept HEX and RGB color codes.

Fonts​

You can select up to 4 fonts to be used across your site.
