Ever found yourself typing in your brand colour hex codes over and over again… only for your buttons to still turn out a rogue shade of pink?
It’s not just you. Divi has a habit of ignoring your efforts unless you tell it exactly what to do.
If you want to set brand colours in Divi and actually have them show up consistently, here’s your calm, clear path through the chaos.
Step 1: Set Your Global Colour Palette (Properly)
To set brand colours in Divi the right way, go to Divi → Theme Options, scroll to the Default Colour Palette, and add your brand hex codes. Save your changes.
✅ These now show up in the colour picker across all modules.
🚫 This does not mean your colours will be applied automatically.
You still need to select them manually or apply them through presets, especially if you want your brand to look the same on every page.
Step 2: Create and Use Global Presets
Presets are your shortcut to a consistent look, and they make it easier to set brand colours in Divi without constantly restyling things.
Open a module you’ve already styled. At the top, click the blue Preset Default dropdown and save it as something like “Green CTA Button.”
Now when you reuse that module type, you can apply your preset and skip the colour chaos.
Step 3: Reset Any Rogue Modules
Even if you set brand colours in Divi globally, individual modules might override them without you realising.
If something looks off:
- Open the module
- Look for any colour setting that’s custom
- Click the reset arrow to restore your global style
This is a quick fix that gets your modules back on track.
Step 4: Stop Restyling Everything
Once you’ve learned how to set brand colours in Divi using the global palette and presets:
- Stop retyping hex codes
- Stop tweaking colours manually in every module
- Stop trying to match by eye
Just use what you’ve already set. It’s easier, cleaner, and keeps your design consistent.
Step 5: Simplify Your Colour System
Limit yourself to six brand colours:
- Primary
- Secondary
- Accent
- Neutral light
- Neutral dark
- A lighter version of your primary, secondary or accent for backgrounds
If you set brand colours in Divi with this kind of structure, you’ll avoid overwhelming yourself and your visitors.
If you set brand colours in Divi once and properly, you won’t have to keep fixing the same problems over and over again. Use the palette. Use the presets. Use the reset button.
