I’ll change the background color to this dog blackish gray I want to keep this color so I can use it later everywhere across the site all I need to do is click the plus icon over here cool it’s added to our color picker instantly I can also delete the colors that I don’t need simply select the color and drag it into the bin
we can also organize our colors by dragging them to where we like as you can see you can easily create your sites color palette on the go I’ll go ahead and make this heading lighter and save the color as well let’s also apply to the text below
and I’ll change the all dessert button to this playful orange and on havre I’ll use the same light color from before now let’s tweak the category buttons I want these to blend in nicely with the columns dark background color
so I’ll use the blackish gray I added before I’ll make it a little lighter by adjusting it over here then save the color on hover I’ll change the background to the orange we added before great looking good as you can see saving your favorite colors straight from the picker itself really helps us design

some images and set the duration to a thousand milliseconds so they change every second
I’ll change the transition duration to the fade takes three seconds and makes the transition easier on the eyes and change the background signs over here as well as its position cool that looks
