Reuse or define custom color palette for text, button, divider, etc. when designing marketing e-mails

Hello,

Could not find any help in the documentation, in this forum and did not find any functionality in Dynamics Marketing Designer.

Our client sends up to 8 Marketing e-mails per week and has it's own department creating content for E-Mail Newsletters.

One thing that consumes a lot of time when creating content is, that colors have to be specified over and over again. We are not able to tell Dynamics for Marketing to "reuse" a hand full of colors when coloring text, buttons or dividers.

E.g., we want to re-use a special blue, yellow and gree nut always have to specify it again and again. In addition, there are two different color pickers, depending on the situation.

Color Picker for text, no option to keep the custom color

Color Picker for Buttons backgrounds. There is an option to add colors to the palette, but Dynamics will not keep those for the next working session. Once the browser closes, the colors are gone:

Any help how to save more time here would be appreciated.

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks your feedback on product feature.

    Unfortunately there is no Recent Colors feature in color palette in email designer.

    I suggest you install some extensions/add-ons in your browser to save used colors.

    For example, ColorZilla would be a good Chrome extension.(also available for Firefox)

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colorzilla/bhlhnicpbhignbdhedgjhgdocnmhomnp

    All your picked colors will be saved and you can use them anytime.

    Hex Code and Decimal Code are all supported.
