Introducing Colour Palettes in Slate for Rise (formerly RiseOverride) v1.6.3

Release

We're excited to announce the latest feature in Slate for Rise (formerly RiseOverride) v1.6.3: Colour Palettes! This simple but powerful addition makes it easy to organize and reuse your favorite colors when customizing Articulate Rise courses.

Why This Matters for Course Creators

If you're building training courses for clients, you know the struggle of managing brand colors:

  • Remembering hex codes: Client brand colors scattered across emails, style guides, and old projects
  • Consistency challenges: Using slightly different shades across different lessons or modules
  • Time wasted: Constantly looking up the same color values project after project
  • Client switching: Juggling multiple brand palettes when working with different organizations

Colour Palettes solves all of these problems in one simple feature.

How It Works

1. Create Your Palettes

Open Slate for Rise (formerly RiseOverride) and click "Colour Palettes" to create named colour palettes. You might create palettes like "Acme Corp Brand Colours," "Healthcare Client," or "My Go-To Colours."

2. Add and Name Your Colours

Add colours to each palette using the colour picker or by pasting hex codes. Give each colour a meaningful name like "Primary Blue," "Call-to-Action Orange," or "Section Background."

3. Use Them Instantly

When you're customizing a Rise course, your saved colours appear right in the colour picker. Click to use them immediately—no copying and pasting hex codes.

Perfect for Professional Course Creators

Work with Multiple Clients

Keep each client's brand colours organized in their own palette. Switch between client projects without losing track of their specific colour requirements.

Build Course Series

Maintain perfect colour consistency across multiple lessons, modules, or courses. Set up your colours once and use them throughout the entire training program.

Follow Brand Guidelines

Input your organization's official brand colours once and always have them available. No more "close enough" colour choices that don't quite match the style guide.

Real-World Example

Let's say you're creating training for a healthcare company. You can create a "MedCorp Training" palette with:

  • "Corporate Blue" - #2E5C8F (their primary brand color)
  • "Trust Green" - #4A7C59 (for positive messaging)
  • "Alert Red" - #C53030 (for important warnings)
  • "Neutral Gray" - #718096 (for supporting text)

Now, every time you work on their training materials, these exact colours are ready to use with one click.
