All right. So there's two ways that you can go about getting your brand colors. The first way I'm going to show you is through Canva and you'll need a Canva Pro for this so that you can keep it all in under your brand kit over here. So you're going to go to Brand under your Tools and you'll see you can create as many brand kits as you want that includes your fonts, your colors, your logos and things like that.

So we're gonna go to add new... Add New brand kit. Let's give this a name. We'll just call it Test. Create... and you'll see here you have you can add your logo. You can add your colors.

You can add your fonts. You can upload a font all that cool stuff. So to get started you're going to click on that plus sign and you can either scroll anywhere on this area to select your color or you can highlight it here if you know the hex code and I personally like to have my own sort of hex codes that go together because I'm not a visually graphic branded person if you will, I'm not very artsy.

So I like to come to colorpalettes.net and it gives you a bunch of (excuse me) photos that you can choose from. That have colors that go really nicely together. And so I'm just gonna pick one just that has a nice little pop of color and you'll see right down here. They give you the hex codes so we could easily just copy and paste okay, and then we'll press plus and then let's grab another one. So we can do this for all of our colors if you chose to use all the colors and then what it's gonna do is It's just gonna save to your brand kit so we can let me just okay, I'll just do this last one and then we'll be done. Okay, so let's just say this is our brand kit.

Now when we go to create an image we can simply... I don't know. Let's start with here Facebook posts. Okay, and then we're gonna go to elements or I'm sorry, we can go to text and up here. You can select your brand kit. So we're going to select test.

Okay, that way when we add a heading we can pull up the colors and it'll show our color palette right here so we can easily change it to whatever we want. When we do the background our color palette still shows up. Right so we can move that does not look good together, but that's how you would go about doing that.

Now the other way to do it without using Canva is you can simply Go to colorpalettes.net and then take a screenshot. So if you would just copy, you know, you could do this.

And then it's really easy if you save it on your if you do this on your phone, that way you can easily just set it to a photo library that you have dedicated to your brand photos that way when you're on Instagram. You could easily pull up the photo and utilize those colors. So it's a super easy way. I hope that was helpful and I will see you later.
