Although the zazzle design tool is the best .. the lack of color choice for backgrounds etc isn’t that great .. but using your own custom color isn’t difficult

First we need to have the ability to generate a color code .. if you have a programme such as photoshop .. paintshop pro etc .. you can use the color selector to get just the right shade you require

Photoshop users just need to use the color picker .. then double click the color box on the left then copy the color code from the box ( see below )

if you don’t have any programmes don’t worry … you can still create your own custom colors .. heres a great site that generates the code for you .. you can even mix your own color and it gives you the code .. once you have your code .. you need to apply it to your product .. on the zazzle design tool … choose ” background” you will see at the bottom of the color selection theres already a code in the box .. delete that code and paste in your custom code ( see below )

IMPORTANT : do not include the # from any image codes just the numbers and letters .. and to apply the code make sure you press the enter key on your key board …

Thats how to apply a custom color to a product .. you can do the same to custom design your store .. simply go to your “my zazzle ” .. gallery tab ..then on the left click on appearance

tick the create a custom look option .. then select from the sections of the gallery you want to apply custom color to .. generate your code and paste into the hex box hit the enter key
