palette

Does your editorial team struggle with inconsistent brand colors scattered across content?
Palette gives administrators full control over which colors editors can use —
and gives editors a beautiful, visual way to pick them.

The problem it solves

When a site uses Color Field,
editors get a free-form hex input. Anyone can type any color. Over time this leads to dozens
of slightly-different shades of "brand blue" living across your content.

Palette solves this by letting you define a curated set of named, reusable colors
as content entities. Editors browse and pick from swatches — no hex codes required.

How it works

1. An administrator defines the site's color palette at
   Administration > Structure > Palette colors.
2. Each color gets a name (e.g. "Corporate Blue") and a hex value.
3. Any color_field_type field can be switched to the
   Palette Color Browser widget.
4. Editors click "Select color", pick a swatch from the visual modal,
   and the field is filled automatically.
