[intro]In this Guide, you’ll learn how to amend the colours used on your EKM online shop to match your branding. [/intro]

[caution]This Guide is intended for use with the Aerial theme. If you are using a different Theme or your EKM online shop is in Custom Mode, click here for the correct Guide. [/caution]

[tips]Before you begin, it’s a good idea to populate your EKM online shop with Categories, Subcategories and Products. This way you can see how the different colours are used on different sections of your Theme more realistically. [/tips]

Locating the Settings

1. From the Dashboard, click the Design:

2. Now you need to click Layout Editor:

3. Next, you need to click Theme Settings in the top left-hand corner:

4. Then click the Theme Colours tab:

5. This will reveal the different areas where you can amend the colours of your Theme:

How to use the Colour Picker windows

1. You’ll see Colour Picker windows everywhere on the EKM online shop platform when you are customising your Theme. To use these, you simply need to click the coloured box:

2. This will open the Colour Picker window. If you have a hex code for a specific colour, you can paste this into the Hex field provided. Alternatively, if you want to choose a colour on the fly, simply move the circle and the slider to select your colour of choice before pressing the Enter key or clicking off the window to save your selection: 

[tips]When you’re amending the colours of your Theme, it’s a good idea to keep note of the hex codes of any colours you have used, so if you want to use the same colour in more than one place, you simply paste in the hex code for that particular colour - it’s a lot easier than trying to ‘guesstimate’ it visually using the sliders within the Colour Pickers. [/tips]

Saving your changes

1. When you have finished amending your colours, scroll up to the top of the Theme Colours menu and click the X symbol:

2. You'll then see the green Save button on the bottom left-hand side. Click this to save your changes:
