Colour Crafting with Canva

Why didn't anybody tell me?!

I know, I know. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about Canva. I don't think I know anyone who hasn't used Canva at least once; whether it was to spruce up a presentation for school/work or create an invitation for any occasion. What I didn't know, however, was that Canva had a palette creator so either I've been under that rock or this is Canva's best-kept secret.

There have been many times I wanted to create a presentation with my own colour palettes but I couldn't seem to get my palette ideas to translate to the presentation. There have also been times when I see a photo and fall in love with the colour scheme but it just never occurred to me that there was a way for me to generate a palette from it. This is a really exciting tool for a photo and colour lover like myself so I had to try it out on my own photo. 

And it worked! It's free to use and you don't need to sign up with Canva to use this function, though there is a button to try Canva on the page.

My only hangup with this tool was that it did not upload the full photo. In my photo, for example, my pants were cut off and I would have really liked for that olive colour to be included in the palette. Overall it is a very useful tools for creators and I definitely recommend trying it out. If you do, comment and let me know if you find a way around the photo-cropping issue. You can click Color Palette Generator to access it. Until next time!
