The latest update of Graficto introduced the a feature of creating your own custom color palette. Before you create a custom color palette, It is best that you get familiar with the basic concepts of a color and templates in Graficto. Color palettes have three main components: fill colors, text colors and a heading color.

  • Fill Colors are the primary color given for items in a template. Usually, templates use the fill color for the background of the shapes representing the items.
  • Text Colors are the colors that are used for the text and icons that appear on the background of fill colors. So text colors should contrast well with the fill colors. Otherwise, the text might not be readable.
  • Heading Color is given to any headings or static shapes that are present in a template.
