Use your brand colors across galleries
You can reuse your brand colors without entering HEX codes gallery by gallery. First save a color preset, then open Settings → Branding → Colors.
Applying your included palette to all galleries is available on every plan. Studio and Pro are needed only to keep multiple saved presets.
There are two separate choices: Apply to galleries… changes galleries you already have; Make default for new galleries sets the starting colors for galleries you create later. To use the same brand colors for both, use both actions.
Apply to existing galleries
- Find your preset and click Apply to galleries…. This is also available in a gallery’s Design → Color panel.
- Select the galleries you want, or click Select all galleries. You can search by name; searching keeps your selection. Select all galleries includes the whole list, even when a search is entered. Trashed galleries are not available.
- Review the number selected and how many are published.
- Click Apply to [number] galleries and wait for confirmation.
This replaces the selected galleries’ page, surface and accent colors. Published galleries change for visitors immediately on their next load or refresh. Photos, cover artwork, fonts, gallery privacy and print store settings stay as they are.
The selected galleries update together. If applying fails, none of the selected galleries is partially updated by that request. If a gallery is no longer available, close the selection window, reopen it and choose the available galleries again.
Choose a default for new galleries
Click Make default for new galleries beside your preset. The Default for new galleries label confirms your choice. There is one default per account; choosing another replaces it.
New galleries start with a copy of that palette. This includes galleries created from the Studio, connected to a wedding, or created through Lightroom. A creation that supplies its own colors keeps those explicit colors.
Existing galleries do not change when you choose, edit or remove a default. Editing the default preset affects galleries created afterward. To restyle existing galleries, use Apply to galleries….
Click Remove default to have future galleries start with FOCL’s default colors. Galleries you already created keep their colors.
What happens with Cover Studio?
A preset styles the gallery page without changing the cover artwork or its fonts. Choosing a preset takes precedence over Cover Studio’s matching page colors.
If you later publish a cover with matching colors enabled, the gallery follows that cover again. Saving a private cover draft does not change the applied gallery colors. You can apply your preset again whenever you want.
In Design → Color, Back to the default theme clears the gallery’s chosen colors. For an applied Cover Studio design with matching colors, this restores that matching palette. It does not apply your preset for new galleries to an existing gallery; choose Use in this gallery to do that.
Will saved galleries keep following edits to the preset?
No. A preset gives the gallery a copy of its colors. Editing, renaming or deleting the preset does not restyle existing galleries. Choose Apply to galleries… each time you want to update them together.
