How do I use the color picker?

The PosterMyWall editor allows you to work with colors in various ways. 

The color picker can be used to add color to text content, shapes, and the background of your templates. Use other color editing tools like filters and adjustment features to alter colors for other items, such as stickers.

To add color: 

  • Select any graphic (e.g., a shape) or plain text item 
  • On the right contextual menu, click the color box under the 'Fill' (for shapes), or ‘Styles’ (for plain text) category.
  • Use the color grid to pick the color of your choice. Use the color slider to move across the color spectrum. 
  • Your color changes in real-time as you pick colors from the grid.

Color hex

If you know the exact color you want to use, you can enter the color hex below the space given in the color grid. 

You can also copy the color hex you're using by clicking the 2 boxes icon and pasting it elsewhere.

Note: This feature is currently not available on PosterMyWall’s mobile website and app. 

You can use the color picker to reuse a color already present in your design. It can be used for changing the color of the text, shapes, or background.

 To use the color picker:

  • Select any graphic item and click on the color box given under the ‘Fill’ category.
  • Click the 'picker' icon. Hover it over your design to pick the color of your choice.
  • You can see the color preview simply by hovering over a color. You'll also see the color hex update as you move the color picker. 
  • Click the color picker on the color of your choice to copy the color onto your selected graphic item. 

Pick color from your design

Lastly, you can pick colors already used in your design. Find the 'On my design' option right below the color picker. Use this option if you want to reuse colors from your design for new image and text content. 

This option does not contain every color and shade used in your design, so consider using the color picker to pick the exact color you're looking to reuse.
