To add a new color in Canva when applying it to an element, follow these steps directly from the color panel.
When you have an element selected and access the color options, you can introduce a new color not currently available in the default palette or document colors.
Steps to Add a New Color
According to the provided reference, here is the process:
- Select an Element: Ensure you have the design element (text, shape, background, etc.) selected that you want to change the color of.
- Open the Color Panel: Access the color options for the selected element.
- Tap "Add a New Color": From the color panel options, tap the Add a new color tile. This action opens the color picker.
- Select Your Color: Drag the circle to select the new color you desire from the spectrum or gradient shown.
- Enter Hex Code (Optional): From this color picker panel, you also have the option to enter the hex color code directly if you know the specific code for the color you want.
Once you've selected the color by dragging the circle or entering the hex code, the selected element will update with the new color, and the new color will typically appear in your recent or document colors for easy access during your current editing session.
By tapping the Add a new color tile and using the color picker (either by dragging the circle or entering a hex code), you can introduce a wide range of custom colors to your Canva designs.
