Alia provides intuitive tools to easily customize your buttons, ensuring they stand out and encourage user interaction. Whether you're aiming for a subtle integration or a vibrant pop, mastering button color changes is a key step in optimizing your designs.

1. Select the Button You Want to Style
The first step is to identify and select the specific button you wish to modify. This will open its individual styling options.

Locate the button element you want to customize on your canvas.
Click directly on the button. A bounding box will appear around it, indicating it's selected, and the styling panel on the right sidebar will update to show button-specific options.
2. Find the Button Styling Options (Background Color)
Once your button is selected, the left-hand styling panel will present various customization options. We're looking for the color settings.
On the styling panel on the right hand side, scroll down or look for a section labeled "Background".
You will find an option named "Background Color" (or similar). This controls the fill color of your button.
Note: Some buttons might have additional states like Hover Color. This allows you to set a different background color that appears when a user hovers their mouse over the button, providing visual feedback.
3. Choose Your Desired Background Color
Alia provides a comprehensive color picker to help you select the perfect shade for your button.
Click on the color swatch next to the "Background Color" option. This will open the dropdown to select your added colours or add a new colour
As you select a color, the button on your canvas will update instantly, allowing you to preview your changes in real-time.
4. Set the Button Text Color for Readability
After setting the button's background, it's crucial to adjust the text color to ensure excellent contrast and readability. This is vital for accessibility and user experience.
In the same styling panel, typically close to the "Background Color" setting, look for "Text"
Click on the color swatch next to this option to open the color picker.
Choose a color that provides strong visual contrast with your chosen button background.
Example: If your background is dark (e.g., navy blue), select a light text color (e.g., white or light gray).
Example: If your background is light (e.g., soft yellow), select a dark text color (e.g., black or dark brown).
Once you're satisfied with your button's new colors, remember to save your changes and publish your popup or form to make them live. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your audience and brand!
