A client diagram may need a different palette from an internal working draft. Named palettes let you specify that choice in a sentence without repeating color values. Keep a default palette for “use my brand colors” and choose another by name for a particular task.
Keep colors attached to a clear name
Give each palette a name that identifies its purpose, such as a client or a product. Save the actual color values and choose one default. In a request, name the specific palette when the task belongs to another brand.
A palette controls color choices; it does not carry the rest of a client’s project information into a conversation. Use personal Projects to organize that context.
Ask for the palette when it matters
The website’s cream, brass and sage interface does not dictate diagram colors. If you do not request a saved palette, the diagram can use colors appropriate to its content and style. A clearly requested palette takes priority over that default choice.
Check contrast on labels and connectors after applying brand colors. A light accent may work as a fill but need dark text or a stronger border. Do not rely on red and green alone to explain different outcomes.
Keep historical work stable
Changing a saved palette should not recolor previously saved diagram versions. Request a new revision when you want an existing diagram to adopt the updated colors, then review the result before exporting.
For an example of one structure in different visual treatments, see the approval workflow.
