Use more than one accent color in Rise 360

Is it possible to use more than one accent color (Theme) in Rise 360? I've used an orange from one of our logo colors (because so many other projects use the blue) and when I create a 'Note', I've received feedback that it looks like a warning box.  It would be great if I EVERYTHING didn't have to be one accent color.

Looking forward to your responses!

    Any update on this - is it in development yet or even in the pipeline?? Upvote from me!

  • I'm chiming in here with another reason for this request. Having one single colour is terrible for usability. If you want to use a nice pale shade for example - I tried to use a lovely calming green as my main colour. Works great as a background or on the buttons. But the same colour is used as a link colour, and as uneditable headings on tabbed interactions. It's not even vaguely meeting contrast requirements on a white background for text. Not every colour is suitable for text.  At a minimum we should be able to specify link and heading colours separately from the 'brand' colour.

      Hi Nicola,

      You can make the color of a text internet link any color you want.

      Simply apply the color to the text before you add the link.

        Oh, I know. This is FINE if it just doesn't work on a background colour on a few blocks, but I'm not manually changing every single link's colour when it's too pale against white for text purposes. We should absolutely be able to set a separate link colour.  I'm also not sure why we have to change the text colour before the link is added.

        If I was going to do that, given I'm not always the one entering content initially, I would be going around removing links, changing colours and then re-adding the link. Total time sink where it doesn't need to exist.

  • Please add me as a +1 for this request. I would especially appreciate the ability to assign complimentary colors globally to headers and subheads. I understand that we can do it manually but once it's been manually  changed, it will not revert in the event of theme change (in our case, a rebrand). I love this product but have never worked on a platform with so few enhancements after 4+ years of use.
