Dear Miro team

first of all: we love working with Miro. As a brand design company, what a great way to present to and interact with our clients and colleagues!

Bur what we miss most is a better way to handle colors. We have set up a lot of colors, as we use different colors for every client, matching their corporate design, and our own colors. And sometimes we need to change colors, as brand designs develop. It’s very hard to keep an overview with the given palette function (and we’ve already lost it).

 

Here’s our color wish list:

 

A // Color modification

Colors can be modified (after being created and already in use), graphic elements in the board will be updated with the modification. Colors not in use can be deleted. If a used color is deleted, an existing replacement color within the palette is requested.

 

B // Color types

  1. Managed colors – Centrally generated and managed colors by admin. Organized / grouped in separate palettes with individual names (e.g. client names etc.). These palettes can be applied to teams and projects. Changes to this palettes will be applied to all boards where these colors are in use. Board users cannot modify these colors. Only account admins can modify these colors and palettes in a separate color setup area. 
  2. Individual colors – colors created by board editors. These colors are only seen in the individual board color menu where they were created. Every board editor can modify these colors.
  3. Default individual colors – a basic set of colors forever new board, that become “individual colors” (see 2.) of a board as soon as a the board is created. The default color set can be modified by admins in a separate color setup area, modifications will not be applied to already existing boards, only to new boards.

 

C // Color organization

  1. Drag and drop – colors can be re-arragend in the palette. 
  2. Names – colors can have names. Giving and modifying names according to rights management of “B // Color types”

 

Would be super helpful if you could integrate this within Miro :))

Was it helpful?

We need to apply our corporate brand to all the things we do. It’s essential to use our brand colors. Therefore I added all of our colors to each board manually, but the 16 default colors cannot be removed or even moved to the end of the color list. I appreciate all three ideas A, B, and C!!


Yes, please give us the option to drag and drop colors in the palette to re-arrange and/or show the last used colors on top of the list.
