Changing colours

Screenshots show one of our templates. Yours may look slightly different, but the steps are the same.

Most elements

  1. Click the element. If it's in a group, you may need to click twice.
  2. Choose a new colour from the colour swatch in the toolbar.

Envelopes and other stationery

Stationery is recoloured with the Duotone effect rather than the colour swatch.

  1. Click the envelope. You'll see a purple box around it once it's selected; you may need to click twice if it's in a group.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Under Effects, choose Duotone.
  4. Change the Highlights colour only. Leave Shadows as they are.
