Choosing colors for your fonts, backgrounds, borders, etc. is one of the most common tasks you'll perform when designing a website. Webflow's color picker has three primary uses, which we'll walk through in this video:

Picking a color
Setting opacity
Creating and using swatches

We'll also talk a bit about Webflow's global swatches, which let you easily reuse and update colors across your websites.
