Global Colours

The Global Colours section will let you easily set some pre-defined colour categories. These colours are automatically applied to the entire website.

Base Text – this option sets the default overall font color, it is applied to each paragraph throughout your website.

Links – this option sets the link initial color and hover color.

Text Selection – applies styles to the part of a document that has been highlighted by the user (such as clicking and dragging the mouse across text).

All Headings (H1 – H6) – this option will set the color for all H1 to H6 tags at once.

Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3… – these options will set the color for an individual heading by overriding the parent option “All Headings (H1 – H6)”

Site Background – this option controls the global background color or image of your website, this means that setting a background color from here it will reflect on all your pages or posts.

Important Notice!
You do not need to limit yourself to the colour palettes. Each colour can be overwritten by using the Design tab throughout the Customiser.
