What are Canva color palette codes?
Using either a free or Canva Pro account, you can easily create your own Canva palettes within the Canva brand kit section.
A color palette consists of colors that complement or contrast with each other. A well-curated color palette is essential to the design process and choosing colors that simply don’t work together can be a recipe for disaster.
Canva color palette codes are a type of HTML color code, often referred to as a hex code, that’s unique to each color hue.
You’ll notice that each hex code starts with a hashtag (#) followed by six numbers, letters, or a mix of the two. As you can imagine, there are tons and tons of hex codes to play around with to develop your own personal color palette.

How to find hex codes in Canva
Finding hex codes in Canva is one of the first things you should learn how to do when getting started with the design platform.
Simply select an element, (in the example below, you’ll notice I selected my design’s background) click the color button at the top left corner of your design, and select “Add a new color”.
Choosing “Add a new color” prompts the color selection box to open. Within it, you’ll have the option to copy the hex code of your chosen color.

How do you make a color palette on Canva?
Making your own palette with your chosen Canva color palette codes is super easy to do inside your Canva brand kit.
All you have to do is click the “+” symbol under the “Brand colors” heading and add as many colors as you fancy (so long as they complement or contrast with each other!).
If you’d prefer to make your own brand color palette and not use any of the ones below, no hard feelings. You can craft your own using the Canva color wheel or the Canva color palette generator, both of which are incredibly helpful tools all found on the design platform already.
You can also browse through hundreds of premade Canva color palettes to find the perfect fit for each of your designs.
Canva color palette ideas inspired by nature
Now that you know what Canva color palette codes are and how to find hex codes in Canva, it’s time for the fun part: selecting a color palette!
Each of my curated palettes is inspired by nature. Be it a warm sunset or pastel spring blossoms. I know you’ll love these earth tone color palettes.
To use one of my color palettes, all you need to do is copy and paste each of the Canva color palette codes into your design or brand kit.
Canva color palettes are perfect for social media graphics, Pinterest pin design ideas, eBook templates, and so much more.
Alternatively, you can save any of my color palettes to your Canva design board on Pinterest.

More Canva tips and tricks to try:
In Canva, you can easily get the color code (hex code) of any color you see in a design. Here’s how to do it:
-
Select the object or element whose color code you want to find.
-
Click on the color swatch in the top toolbar to open the color picker.
-
In the color picker, you’ll see a field labeled “HEX.” This is the hex code for the current color.
-
You can click on the hex code to select it, then copy it to your clipboard by pressing “Ctrl + C” (or “Command + C” on Mac).
-
You can also manually enter a hex code in the “HEX” field to set a specific color for your object or element.
Note that the hex code in Canva is always preceded by a “#” symbol. This is important to include if you want to use the color code in other design applications or programming languages.
Canva uses a cool color code system called “hex codes” to represent colors in its design tool.
These codes are made up of six digits and are preceded by a “#” symbol. They tell you how much red, green, and blue are in a particular hue, and each two-digit code corresponds to a value between 0 and 255.
For example, #FF0000 is the hex code for pure red, where “FF” represents the highest possible value for red, and “00” represents the lowest values for green and blue.
By using this color code system, Canva makes sure that colors are consistent across designs, which makes it super easy to match colors between different elements and projects.
Creating a color palette in Canva is easy and allows you to use a consistent set of colors across your designs, making them look more professional and cohesive.
To add a color palette in Canva:
- Head over to your Brand Hub from the homepage of Canva.
- Within Brand Kit, select, “Add new”.
- Give your brand kit a name.
- Under the Colors tab, select, “Add new” and add as many hex codes as you like to create a new color palette.
