# Colour Palette management in Templates

#### What is this feature?

The Colour Palette feature allows you to view, add, and edit color mapping tables within each Template. You can define which RGB colors in your design should be converted into corresponding CMYK values when exporting documents as PDFs in CMYK mode.

👉 This feature gives users better control over colors, minimizes color mismatch during printing, and ensures visual consistency.

### How to Set Up the Colour Palette

#### **🔹** Step 1: Open Template Edit Mode

* Go to the **Template Details** page of the template you want to configure.
* Click **Edit** to open **Edit Template Details** dialogs.

#### **🔹** Step 3: Configure Color Mappings

Under the Map RGB colours to CMYK values when exporting PDFs in CMYK mode section:

* Enter the RGB color code you want to convert.
* Enter the corresponding CMYK values.
* Click **+ Add Entry** to add a **new color mapping rule**.
* Repeat these steps if you need to set up multiple colors.

#### **🔹** Step 4: Save Changes

* Click **Save** to save the color palette to the Template.

The saved colour palette will be stored within the Template. When creating new templates from this Template, these color mapping settings will be inherited and automatically applied when exporting PDFs in CMYK mode.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.hivo.co/editor/colour-palette-management-in-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
