Is there any way to add custom HEX colors to tables and text?

I am new to Confluence and am attempting to create a brand colors guideline but cannot figure out how to use custom colors. All I have access to are the defaults shown below. I can't find any way to do this based on my research. Thanks in advance!

@Keara Meehan welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Sorry to be the one to break the news, but currently Confluence Cloud does not allow for custom color palettes for fonts or other page elements.

There is a long standing request on JAC for this that you vote and follow:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67183

This is crazy!  You had the functionality back in 2010.  Why would this be removed?  It's not 1995.

Hi @Keara Meehan ,

If you have the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app installed for your instance (it's the app that we develop), please note that you can use the Table Transformer macro to set background and text colors using different HEX colors.

You may check these examples from our documentation:

Hey everyone! 👋

We built a solution for this. Atelier is an app that includes a 8 different macros with full custom text color picker and Hex Code support, and options to set default colors at a Space level!

It also lets you apply background colors, patterns, add extra text customizations, and combine multiple styles, all from an intuitive configuration panel right in the editor.

Also, with Atelier you can create custom banners, buttons, callouts, cards, dividers and separators, use one of the 64 background patterns to make your Confluence pages truly stand out.

🔗 Get Atelier on the Marketplace, it's free for up to 10 users.

It's a brand-new release built entirely on Forge (Atlassian's secure platform), so your data never leaves Atlassian's infrastructure.

We'd love your feedback! If you try it out, please leave a review on the Marketplace listing, it helps us improve and helps others in this thread find the solution.

Have questions or need help? Reach out through our Support Portal. We're happy to assist!
