Global Colours

Globally manage your colours with a professional colour picker, personalised variables, an exclusive 11-stop palette generator, dynamic colour modification, live colour editing, convenient folders, contrast checking, and a sleek dark mode customiser.

This allows you to create a unified colour palette across your entire website, but also perform adjustments across the board.
