How to change the colour of specific text on Squarespace (With No Code!)

One of the Squarespace updates I’ve been most excited about in the past 12 months is the ability to change the colour of specific text within a content section…without a single bit of code.

In the past, if you wanted to change the colour of specific pieces of text, you would have to use code. Not any more!

Now, all you have to do is highlight the text you want to change and select the desired colour from the colour palette or input a simple hex code.

Changing the colour of specific pieces of text in Squarespace couldn’t be simpler. No matter what Squarespace website I’m building, I first add a text block and highlight the text I want to alter.

Above the highlighted text you’ll see a black spot appear (representing the current colour of the text). All I have to do is click that spot and select a new colour from the colour palette, or choose the custom option to add a specific hex code. Hey presto, your text has changed colour.

The great thing about this particular update is that it gives users the ability to break up chunks of text and add visual interest to website content without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

The only real knowledge you need is to be able to select colours that compliment each other and offer the best user experience.

This is a feature I’ve utilised time and time again since it came out for some of my biggest Squarespace web builds and will keep using long into the web design future!
