Since this is a global site configuration (applied sitewide), you can much easier go with your brand color scheme, without a need to manually change colors for each block each time. Once the plugin is installed and activated, navigate to Settings > Editor Colors to customize colors. There are two sections to customize colors globally for your website: #### Custom Colors Here you can create new colors for the block color palette. You will not lose these colors when you change a theme. These colors can be deactivated or transferred via XML. #### Default Colors Here you can edit colors that are registered by your active WordPress theme or default Gutenberg block colors. #### Need more blocks? If you feel short of blocks, don’t lose the opportunity to install 40+ more free blocks and pre-made design patterns by [Getwid](https://wordpress.org/plugins/getwid/) WordPress blocks. This is a fantastic customization booster and design toolkit for the Gutenberg era in WordPress. ### Copyright Block Editor Colors, Copyright (C) 2020, MotoPress https://motopress.com/ Block Editor Colors plugin is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1.

Needs more customizations. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ed234a7d1cbb6b282d6d1f7d18d203304939a1b827bad3690b73981c3222934a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It helps – but shouldn’t be needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-helps-but-shouldnt-be-needed/)󠁿 [bloohair](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bloohair/) June 29, 2022 This plugin has helped change a default colour in Gutenberg, but I am having to go into every page and select the text colour manually as it hasn’t happened automatically. I didn’t need this Plugin until Wordpress 6.0. But thanks to MotoPress ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/defab436b720d81acd3c6b94e86f6d838af54ed0db5badab3550ba4d4d2e8b0e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great! Gradients soon?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-gradients-soon/)󠁿 [mapa729](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mapa729/) May 20, 2022 Makes adding custom editor colors a much faster process than editing functions and checking/ adding custom CSS classes per color. Thanks for making it! My only request to the devs- if you can, please add support for gradients! I know how to do it via functions/ css, but it would be great it if were in this plugin as well. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fd1d58ce44ef22dd5be33ba7dff3235101a6ab0102776b77dda7ccbd30c23405? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-8009/)󠁿 [Curtis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/salsafire/) December 1, 2021 Met my need for additional colors.
