You create the websites of your customers with WordPress and Divi, or even you are creating your own site and are at the productivity research ? Bingo, you will love this article! I'll explain how to use the Divi global colors to avoid wasting time with multiple actions when you want to change a color on your entire site...
1 – What is a global color?
Generally, when stylizing a Divi module, you select a color from a selected palette. However, if you use a overall color in place of a Classic colorThis would allow you to be much more effective in the future.
Indeed, each module that uses a global color allows you to change color, with just one click, on the entire site. The overall colors of Divi are actually "synchronized colors".
So, on the day your graphic chart no longer uses this dreadful "cacad goose green", you can replace this color with a single click on the entire site. You no longer have to waste your precious time changing colors, modules after modules...
Watch this video, you will understand better:
2 - How to identify/use global colors?
When editing a Divi module, you have various options to define the colors (back color, element color, etc.), then just click on "Global" below the color selection panel.
When a module uses a global color, you can easily spot it thanks to the special shape of the color tablet (a round with a square corner).

When you need to define a new global color, here are the steps:

On the day the overall colour used no longer suits you or your customer, you will need to change it from the settings provided for that purpose.
- Open the settings of the module that uses the overall color to change and click on the toothed wheel icon.
- Click on the pen icon of the color to change.
- Move the cursor to choose the replacement color or use the field to enter the hexadecimal code, for example #1df984.
- Save the changes.
- All modules that used the old global color now use the new global color defined.
