# Color palette & scheme
No matter how you started your website ([from scratch, layout or theme](https://knowledge.sitemanager.io/getting-started-workflow-guideline/2-create-a-new-website-project/3-options-to-start-a-project?hsLang=en)), it's likely that you will need to **change the color palette** of your project.
The color palette is a collection of the main colors used for the entire project. They will be used throughout the entire project scope (Design, CMS and Code).
### Design Application
Login to your project (with design rights activated) and navigate to Design Application using the upper right menu.
To change your color palette you can click the **edit palette** button to change the colors in the current color palette.
### Edit Color Palette
There are 10 colors, divided in two sections: the **Design Colors** and the **Texteditor Colors**.
*Both can be accessed throughout the Design Application. Only the **Texteditor Colors** can be accessed the the CMS Application in a text editor input.*
Simply click and select the color you like for any value. Use the color picker or type the correct hexadecimal color value.
The Texteditor colors are also used in the **CMS application text** editor. Therefore you need to fill in the color names for each text color.
**Click save and the entire project (design, content) will be updated with these new color values!**
Defining these color's on the highest level comes in handy when companies undergo rebranding with a different color palette. With only a few clicks the entire website's color palette will be adjusted to the new, rebranded company colors.
### Edit Color Scheme
The SiteManager Design Application uses color scheme's to set the colors when installing new design elements to a layout. There is a **light and dark color scheme** with relations between the colors set in the color palette.
*In general we only look at the light theme as the dark theme will soon disappear.*
When you make changes to your color palette it is always useful to check if the relations between the colors stay intact.
*As a general rule of thumb we use text colors for the text values and design colors for the other colors. So a tile border is a design color while the text in the tile is a text color.*
