Brand Colors are accessible from the Color Tool, which appears in the top toolbar whenever you select an element with customizable colors, like text boxes, chart components, icons, etc. 

Set up My Brand Kit and access your custom Brand Colors from anywhere in the Editor.

Open the Color Tool and select from Brand Colors

The Color Tool appears in the top toolbar when you select any element that you can customize the color of on your design canvas, like text, icons, the background, charts, maps etc.

A user clicks on an icon of a syrup bottle on the canvas, and a suite of tools appear in the top toolbar above the canvas, including a droplet icon the represents the Color Tool. The user clicks on the droplet icon in the top toolbar and opens the Color Tool menu. The menu shows a color picker wheel, a section where the user can enter the HEX code of a color, and two headings including Brand Colors and Swatches.

Change the colors of multi-section design elements like charts and maps by opening the Chart Menu settings panel that allows you to customize their appearance. 

Add your logo to your design

Click My Brand Kit on the left toolbar.

Under the "Logos" heading, click the image of the logo you want to add to your canvas.

Use the drop-down menu to choose from the different Brand Kits you have set up. 

Recolor your entire design with Brand Colors

The My Brand Kit feature can automatically apply your brand colors to any and all color-customizable elements on the design canvas.

Click My Brand Kit on the left toolbar. Under the "Brand Colors" heading, click the bar that displays the brand colors to apply them to the design canvas. 

Click the bar again to "Shuffle" the colors and see different combinations and color variations.

A canvas in the Venngage Editor shows a design with simple shapes, depicting a large blue triangular iceberg and a boat floating on water nearby. The colors of the design are shades of blue, with the boat mostly charcoal grey with a red bottom and a yellow smokestack. A user clicks My Brand Kit, which appears at the top of the left sidebar in the Editor. The My Brand Kit section of the left sidebar opens and reveals the user's Logos and Brand Colors. The user clicks on the section of colorful squares under Brand Colors, which include a light blue, bright magenta and a burnt orange color, and those colors are applied to the elements of the design. A shuffle icon appears on the Brand Color squares, and when the user clicks it, the colors are applied to the design canvas elements in a different order. The final design now shows the iceberg in burnt orange with a light blue background, and the boat in orange, magenta and light blue.
 
Use any of the pre-generated color palettes the same way to apply a new palette to your design. 

Use brand fonts

Brand fonts associated with your brand kit appear in the font menu whenever you select or create a text box, at the top of the menu under Brand Fonts. 

Select a text box on the design canvas, then select a font from under the Brand Fonts heading in the font drop-down menu in the top toolbar.
