Global Color & Fonts

Site Settings enables you to change Global Colors all at once!

Why should you use global fonts and colors?

When you’re building a website, your fonts and colors should be the same across your entire site to improve the overall look. If fonts and colors vary among pages or parts, your users can become confused. This can negatively impact user retention and may cost you sales.

You can also use font and color continuity across your site to reinforce your brand and help users remember it. Font and color continuity helps keep your brand relevant and ensures customers will remember and come to you when they need a product or service.

Elementor’s Global Fonts and Colors enable you to update your website fonts and colors from one convenient location. This prevents you from having to repeatedly open website parts and change them individually. In this article, you’ll learn how to do this.

First, let’s look at how to access Global Settings.

How do I access Global Settings?

  • Once you login to Elementor, select Edit with Elementor on the site you want to update.

  • Select Site Settings.

  • In Settings, select Site Settings.

  • Global Colors and Global Fonts are at the top of the Site Settings Menu.

You can now access either Global Fonts or Global Colors.

Note: If you change the Site Settings, doing so will affect all the same font or color used across your entire website. For example, if you switch the Primary Font Color from red to blue, all text labeled as Primary will become blue.

How do I change Global Fonts and Colors?
