Question

New to Adobe Express - Can you change the color of an element or design asset to a brand color?

I was looking for a good alternative to Canva. But I need to be able to change the color of design assets or icons. For instance a black arrow to orange. Is that possible in Adobe Express? I do not appear to have any tool bar like I’ve seen in video tutorials. Thanks for any assistance!

    Hey ​@Nancy Y!

    Thanks for reaching out! You’ll want to make sure anytime you’re looking to change a specific asset that you’ve selected that asset (by clicking on it, or choosing the layer on the right-hand side that it’s in). 

    • Design assets are a little more limited in terms of color changes - you can click on a specific design asset you’ve put into your Express file and navigate to the “Effects” tab on the “Edit” menu and adjust color from there. 

     

     

    • Icons are much easier to shift color, and you can absolutely input a brand color there - click on the icon you’d like to change color for, navigate to the “Edit” menu, and choose a custom color from there!

     

     

    Let me know if this works for you, or if you have other questions!
