Rise Default Text Colour Pallet - Gone
Hi, I would like to ask the Articulate team, what happened to the default text colour pallet in Rise.
There used to be a grid of colours for text colour changes, now we must input the hex code if the colour we need is not one of the two theme colours.
Our organisation uses #313537 for 95% of text.
Now instead of clicking this colour which was previously in the default colour grid pallet, we now need to type in the hex code for every text block which is frustrating and increases our workflow (see screenshot below).
Unless there is another way of setting a greater array of theme colours (e.g. 5 or 6 colours) then this is another step backward Articulate.
Thanks,
Tony Thomas

KellyAuner & LucianaPiazza I'm curious to know what was the rational behind this decision to remove the color palette?! And why on earth your product team thought this could be a good idea? This makes our work slower.
I came here for the same complaint.
The original functionality should be reverted and if someone wants the hex gradient tools, have that be popup or additional dropdown.Hello EmilyMancuso,
Thanks for adding your insight!
I understand why you'd prefer the original swatches to remain available, even alongside the newer color picker. I've shared your thoughts with our product team.
We'll post an update here if there's any news to share.
I agree that it was a mistake to remove the colour palette blocks. I can't imagine why anybody thought that would be a good idea! But even better than the standard blocks would be the ability to save my company's brand colours (as JudyNollet has suggested), so i can easily select them without typing Hex codes.
Hello EmilyBest,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
I can see why you'd miss the palette swatches, and I understand the request to save company brand colors for quick access. I've passed your feedback along to our product team.
We'll update this discussion if we have any news to share.
KellyAuner: I'm surprised—and quite disappointed—that the product team took the time to update the color picker, yet they didn't include the option to add colors to a custom palette. Folks have been asking for that feature for years...
Hi TonyThomas-c64c,
Thanks for reaching out!
We recently updated the color picker, so selecting colors from the existing swatches is no longer available. I can see how that change could disrupt your workflow, and I've shared your feedback with our product team.
We'll update this discussion when we have news to share!
Hi, KellyAuner, I understand you want to update features (and I applaud you generally), but in this case, your update has reduced the value of Rise 360. Why would you want to change a product so that the workflow of users increases rather than decreases.
It's just crazy.Hello TonyThomas-c64c,
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I understand your concern that this change has made your workflow less efficient. I've shared your feedback with our product team.
