Learn how to change the general colors of your website.

Using the 'Global colors' option in the SiteDu.de Website builder allows you to maintain a consistent appearance for all elements, enabling you to globally change colors in your project and quickly adjust the template to your preferences.

## Color palette styles

Color palettes are created automatically when a new page is created. The color palette is changed by clicking on the current palette and selecting another color palette, while the color in the palettes is changed according to the****"Edit existing color"**** section.

## How to assign a color to an element

Instead of a history of recently used and favorite colors, you now have page colors that you can assign to several elements and globally modify their color in the****"Global colors"**** tab if necessary.

Assigning a particular color to an element is very simple:

****Graphic elements:****

****Text elements:****

![](https://help.webwave.me/lib/dkwr2z/2023-04-07_13-17-lg6gd258.png)

The selected page color will be marked with a white dot.

****ATTENTION!**** When you change the page color in an element, the element will inherit the new color and react to its change.

## Connecting page colors to existing elements

Do you have a site, or are you using a template and would like to change the layout? Take advantage of the****"Connect to elements"**** option. This feature allows you to locate and change the color (globally) of elements that have the same color as the selected page color.

****Attention!****That we can use a pipette to set the same color (only works in chrome).

![](https://help.webwave.me/lib/dkwr2z/2023-04-07_13-17_1-lg6gezp3.png)

We click this icon, then hover over the selected element from which we want to acquire the color. After acquiring the color, we click****"Ok"****.
