Change colours in your palette or design

by CLAN Customer Service

One of the most useful features of our online Tartan Designer is the ability to change any colour in a plaid to a new shade.

You will see the live result of any change in the preview area immediately..

How to change a palette colour (and all instances in your design)

To change a selected colour in your design wherever it appears,

  1. click on any line of that colour in your Design View, or in the Threads row, then
  2. next click on the Edit icon in the Colour panel of the Design controls row
  3. then click on the slot in your Colour palette whose colour you want to change to.
  4. That's it!

How to change a single colour line

If you only want to change a single colour band in your design, you should

  1. drag the new shade from the appropriate slot of your Colour palette row to just beside the one you want to replace in the Line pattern row, then
  2. adjust its size/width to match the old colour ( if you wish to) then
  3. delete the old colour band by clicking on it to select it, then clicking on the 'Bin/Trashcan' icon in the Design controls row above.
