Written by Libby

Your color and colour themes control the background, text, logo, and accent colors used across your ads. Follow the steps below to add, delete, and update colors and themes that reflect your brand style.


1. Open the Brand Kit

  • Go to the Brand tab.

  • Click View Brand Kit to access your logos, colors, and other brand resources.


2. Add a new color

  • Click Add New Color


3. Delete a color

You can delete colors you no longer need from the Brand Kit, for example after a rebrand.

  1. Open the Brand Kit and go to the colors section.

  2. Hover over the color you want to delete.

  3. Select the bin icon that appears on the color.

After a rebrand, check your color Themes as well, and update any Theme that still uses an old color.


4. Add a new color Theme

  • Click Themes.

  • Select Add Theme

  • You can also edit your existing Themes

5. Customize your Themes

  • Name your Theme

  • Background → Click Select to choose a background color.

  • Text → Click Select to define the main text color.

  • Accent 1 → Click Select to define the main accent color.

  • Accent 2 → Click Select to define the secondary accent color.

  • Logo → Assign a specific color to your logo element if you like, or select default

  • Text Styles → Set your Heading, Subheading and Body text

  • Select 'Create Theme' to save

Gradients: if you have an image of the gradient, add it to the Backgrounds section in your Brand Kit, then create themes that use that gradient as the background. If you need to create the gradient image first, you can make it in Shoots, download the image, then upload it as a background in the Brand Kit.


6. Preview and switch themes

  • You can quickly preview different color themes you’ve created.

  • Switching between themes instantly updates how your ads appear in the editor.


✅ Tip: Create multiple color themes (e.g., seasonal palettes or campaign-specific colors) so you can switch quickly depending on your campaign needs.
