Libraries - Colors
The colors for your Fusion site are contained in embellishment specific collections. The collections must first be created before colors can added for use with the personalization interface.
Collections
Collections are groups of colors that can be chosen for use with text elements in a blank or composition. This is used to allow the end customer to change the color they want to use for personalization, but restricts their choices to those colors within the selected collection.
Collections are listed in the left column and display the number of fonts contained within them in parentheses.
