Please consider this as another request. Branding in corporate colours is a must and not to have the ability to change at back end makes for tedious work
I was just looking into Rise to create our client's deliverables and I was shocked to see that I couldn't customize the color palette. Wow, this is a game changer for us. We will probably need to use another application to build the deliverables as our client will never accept the base colors provided in Rise.
I am glad that this topic has been brought up. This is one of the main reasons we do not use Rise on all our customers' projects. A color palette is a must! Also, not sure why the Storyline custom palette does not show up by default, and you have to dig quite deep to get to it. But at least it is there ;) Thanks for considering these color issues next time you update your roadmap ;)
Hi there, Diane. You can set any color as a theme color for your course, and use any color for block backgrounds and text color using HEX codes. While you can't save a palette of multiple custom colors, you can definitely use your own (or your clients') brand colors!
Looks like it's been a week since someone commented on this. It would be really awesome if Articulate would seriously consider adding this as a feature. I hope you guys understand that as Rise users we really need this feature to work efficiently. Its getting really tedious having to copy and past a hex code over and over and over again.
So yeah, just move this feature request to the top of your list. Thanks!
Yes, please. I would like the option to add in a palette of corporate colors. Having to remember the HEX codes for our colors and then pick only one with each rise course is very tedious and disappointing.
Just adding it would be great to set the colors instead of retyping them for every single block :/ Plus it used to be easier and now wehn I click the side bar to add the background color, rather than just entering it, it makes you go down to the Hex field below the color picker. Half the time I found it doesn't select properly and is difficult to edit! Please let us add colors to the random 6 colors at the top. Thanks!!
Hi Amy, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with the hex code to change the background color of your block. To confirm, are you clicking on the Hex code itself? If you click on the circle, it should give you a drop-down to select the color from a color palette. If you click on the hex code, it should let you type the exact hex code that you need.
+1 to being able to customize all the 'accent color' palate and agree this is a very basic and needed customization --- very tedious to constantly copy-paste hex colors in for various text/ background needs.
There are many things that storyline support that Rise have catched up. So in my book its not about what feature to implement in Rise 360 , but when. The list is long of the differences in basic features in storyline that is not currently in Rise 360.
Also consider this, each copy of a course is its own system. There is no central change of branding that can change all courses in my account for instance. So the re-branding process for legacy is a nightmare waiting to happen :)
Right now my biggest challenge with the color pallette is that it also forces links in the text to be the same color. That means if you have a section with a light background then a section with a dark background, you won't be able to change the link color to better standout on it's background.
+1 This should be high priority. Having one color is OK, but it doesn't even exist in the font color popup. We have 8 colors used commonly, one of which is the default font color, so I have to use the hex code for every single piece of text used in an eLearning.
Thank you everyone for your interest in this feature. We don't have any updates to share yet. We'll make sure to update this thread once we make changes that will help.

I vote for the ability to change an entire color palette.
I also would like to be able to add all of our corporate colours.

I just discovered this limitation as a new Rise 360 user. We need the ability to add a number of colors as part of our corporate branding for courses.
I also would really like to see this feature!

Let me know if I misunderstood your comment.

Do we have any update at this time?
Hi Devansh, we don't have any updates to share yet, but we will post them here as soon as we do. Thanks for checking in.

I also want this feature to be added. This is clearly a popular need. I hope it gets added to the Roadmap of Rise updates soon!

Adding to this chain. I would love to have an option to add select brand colors. please add to your future feature roadmap

Another vote for color palette! Need please!
Chiming in on this thread. Would really love to be able to create my course using our organization's brand colours.
Right now my biggest challenge with the color pallette is that it also forces links in the text to be the same color. That means if you have a section with a light background then a section with a dark background, you won't be able to change the link color to better standout on it's background.
I would also like to change colours to our companycolours
Hi - This is truly an important feature to have, as my modules are brand reviewed and restricted. Is there any update?
