Color Variables

Color variables are global design tokens that let you define colors once and reuse them across your entire site. When you update a color variable, every element using it updates automatically.

Creating a Color Variable

  1. Select any element and open the Design tab
  2. Click any color swatch (text color, background, border, etc.) to open the color picker
  3. In the color picker, find the Color Variables section
  4. Click + to create a new variable
  5. Enter a name and pick a color
  6. Click Save

The variable is now available in every color picker throughout the editor.

Using Color Variables

When a color picker is open, your color variables appear as swatches. Click one to apply it. Color variables can be used in:

  • Text color — Typography section
  • Background color — Backgrounds section
  • Border color — Borders section
  • Divide color — Dividers in the Borders section
  • Text decoration color — Underline color in Typography
  • Box shadow color — Shadow effects
  • Gradient stops — As color stops in linear and radial gradients

When an element uses a color variable, changing the variable’s value updates that element automatically.

Opacity

Color variables support opacity. When creating or editing a variable, adjust the opacity slider to create semi-transparent colors. The opacity is stored as part of the variable value and renders correctly everywhere the variable is used.

Managing Variables

Editing

Click an existing variable in the color picker to edit its name or color. Changes propagate to all elements using the variable.

Reordering

Drag and drop color variables in the list to reorder them. The order is reflected in every color picker.

Deleting

Right-click a color variable and select Delete. Elements that were using the deleted variable retain their last applied color but lose the link to the variable.

Define your brand colors, neutrals, and accent colors as color variables at the start of a project. This keeps your design consistent and makes global color changes effortless.
