Customize the colors for empty state illustrations and custom images

Customize and control the colors automatically applied to empty state illustrations and your custom images to keep your visual experience engaging while maintaining brand recognition.

Before you begin

Before you can edit the colors of your custom image, you must append two design tokens to your image code before uploading the image to Theme Builder. For information, see Override empty state illustrations with custom images.

Role required: admin

About this task

As a category, all empty state illustrations share color hook mappings. As a result, the colors that you apply to one empty state illustration type are also applied to the entire empty state illustration category.

Important:

Customization of empty state illustration colors applies to Workspaces and is not supported in the Core UI.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Now Experience Framework > Themes > Theme Builder.
   The Theme Builder landing page opens in a new tab and is displayed in the Home page view.
2. Use the Page drop-down list to select the Editor page view.

   Note:

   By default, the My Colors tab shows all of the available colors for the illustration. You can also use the Custom tab to select a new color.
8. When you have completed your changes, select Save changes.
   Note:

   After you have saved changes to any of the color hooks, a Remove override symbol appears. The Remove override symbol enables you to revert your color changes back to the original auto-generated colors.

   

Result

The new colors are applied to all empty state illustration types including any custom images you've previously uploaded with design tokens applied.
