Changing your solution's color
Every SmartSuite Solution has a color associated with it, letting you create a distinct theme and add to its visual representation. This article will show you how to choose the Solution's color, whether you're creating a new Solution or updating an existing one.
Why choose a Solution color?
SmartSuite will randomly select a color for you when you create a new Solution from scratch, and will assign an icon from a template Solution when installed. Why would you want to change color?
The Solution's color is used in both the top bar as well as anywhere the Solution's icon is displayed (the icon takes on the Solution's color on the home page, for example). This gives your users a visual cue, allowing them to associate the color with your Solution. It lets them find your Solution quickly, know when they're working with content it contains, and set a tone for the work that's done within it.
With 20 options available you can easily differentiate the Solution, giving it a color that sets a tone and makes it easy to locate and identify.
