  • Huge help.

    I've been using this plugin for a year on my sites. It's super helpful to get the right colors accessible in the editor.

  • Excellent Plugin!

    Thanks you so much for creating this plugin so we can easily add custom colors to our templates. This really makes our lives easier :)

  • Works great

    Using this with Getwid, it works out of the box. Needs more customizations.

  • It helps - but shouldn't be needed

    This plugin has helped change a default colour in Gutenberg, but I am having to go into every page and select the text colour manually as it hasn't happened automatically. I didn't need this Plugin until Wordpress 6.0. But thanks to MotoPress

  • Great! Gradients soon?

    Makes adding custom editor colors a much faster process than editing functions and checking/ adding custom CSS classes per color. Thanks for making it! My only request to the devs- if you can, please add support for gradients! I know how to do it via functions/ css, but it would be great it if were in this plugin as well.
