Save and reuse your gallery colors
A color preset saves three gallery colors together: Page (the background), Surface (tiles and recessed panels), and Accent (headings and main buttons). FOCL chooses readable text colors for you. These presets style the gallery page; they do not edit your photographs.
Your preset library lives in Settings → Branding → Colors. You can also find it in any gallery under Design → Color.
Can these colors also match my delivery email?
Use Cover Studio → Match gallery & email to match the cover, gallery and delivery email. A saved gallery palette on its own does not change the cover artwork or email. If you apply a color preset after matching, it overrides the gallery page colors; the email keeps the applied cover’s colors until you apply a different matching cover.
What is included
Every account includes one saved brand color palette, including Free, trials, Essentials and Lifetime. You can edit that palette, use it in any number of galleries, apply it to all your galleries, and make it the default for new ones.
Studio and Pro add multiple saved color presets, useful for separate brands or styles. Complimentary Studio and Pro plans are included. A trial or Lifetime membership alone does not unlock multiple presets. Removing the FOCL gallery credit is already a separate Studio/Pro benefit; this does not change it. Existing font choices are unchanged.
Create a preset
- Open Settings → Branding → Colors and click Create color preset.
- Enter a Preset name, such as “My studio colors.” The name is required. If you click Save preset without one, the field shows Please enter a preset name. and brings you back to enter it.
- Start with Themes, build a palette From a hue, or use Exact colour to enter your brand HEX codes. Choose Page, Surface or Accent to edit that color. The preview updates as you work.
- Click Save preset and wait for the saved confirmation.
Saving adds the preset to your library. Choose where to use it afterward.
If your included palette is already saved, Edit brand colors updates it. To keep another palette alongside it, choose Upgrade to Studio, or create additional presets if you already have Studio or Pro.
Save colors from a gallery you already like
Open that gallery’s Design → Color panel and click Save current colors. Enter a name, adjust anything you want, then click Save preset. The saved palette is available from other galleries and from Branding settings.
If your plan includes one palette and you have already saved it, the button says Update saved brand colors. It opens that saved preset with the current gallery colors; review them and save to replace its stored palette. Existing galleries keep their colors until you apply the updated preset.
Use a saved preset in one gallery
Open the gallery’s Design → Color panel. Under Your color presets, find the preset and click Use in this gallery. Wait for the applied confirmation. If the gallery is published, visitors see the new colors when they load or refresh it.
To change several galleries together, or choose the colors for future galleries, follow Use your brand colors across galleries.
Edit or delete a preset
Click Edit beside the preset. Change its name or colors and click Save preset. Existing galleries keep the colors already applied to them. Apply the edited preset again to any galleries you want to update.
To remove a preset, open Edit, click Delete preset, then Confirm delete. Existing galleries keep their colors. Deleting the default preset means new galleries start with FOCL’s default colors until you choose another default.
If you move to a smaller plan
Existing galleries keep their applied colors. Your default preset remains usable; if none is the default, the earliest saved preset remains usable. Extra presets stay visible and saved, but require Studio or Pro to edit, apply or select as a default. They unlock again when you upgrade. Removing the default makes the earliest saved preset the included palette; deleting it makes the next available preset the included palette.
If saving fails
Your name and colors stay in the editor so you can try Save preset again. If the library cannot load, click Retry. Wait for a saved or applied confirmation before closing the editor.
