Move from color inspiration to a finished design with a clear process that keeps your visuals consistent from the first draft.

01

Choose a Palette Direction

Start with colors that fit your goal, such as soft and elegant for invitations, bold and energetic for promotions, or calm and trustworthy for business content.

02

Copy Colors Into Canva

Apply the generated color values to Canva elements like text, frames, icons, shapes, charts, and backgrounds so every part of the design feels connected.

Refine Contrast and Emphasis
