Don't Be a Confluence Wallflower! 🌼 Paint Your Workspace with Personality 🦄

[#1]

Is your work time being used to its full potential? Are you optimizing Confluence effectively? 🤔

Staring at blank (or overloaded) Confluence pages all day is no fun. We'll show you how to create great Confluence backgrounds with color codes, palettes, and images.

Why Add Color to Your Confluence Pages? 🎨

Sure, the white background works, but here’s why you should consider adding a splash of color:

• Visual Appeal: A pop of color can turn a dull page into an eye-catching one, making your content more engaging. Imagine a calm blue background that helps you focus better than a stark white one.

• Brand Consistency: Match your background colors with your brand’s palette to reinforce brand identity and create a cohesive look across all your Confluence spaces.

• Better Organization: Differentiate sections with background colors to organize information effectively. Think color-coded sections for departments or project stages.

• Highlight Key Points: Use background colors to make important information stand out, ensuring no critical details are overlooked.

• Enhanced Readability: Certain background colors can improve readability, especially for long documents with dense information.

• Visual Interest: Experimenting with different colors can make your Confluence pages more dynamic and engaging, preventing them from looking monotonous.

How to Add Color to Your Confluence Background 🛠️

Reality check: Confluence doesn’t have a built-in feature for changing background colors. But don’t worry, third-party apps like Aura Content Formatting Macros are here to save the day. Here’s how you can add color using Aura:

• Install Aura: Make sure your Confluence Admin has scheduled a demo and installed Aura.
• Edit Your Page: Navigate to your Confluence page and enter edit mode.
• Add Aura Background Content Macro: Click where you want to add the background, type “/” followed by “aura,” and choose the “Background Content” macro.
• Configure the Macro: Set your desired options:
  • Content Alignment: Position your text or embedded content within the background.

•  Minimum Height: Set a minimum size for the background area.

• Padding: Adjust the spacing around your content for optimal readability.
• Color: Pick a background color and adjust its opacity using the slider.

• Content: Format the text and content you want to insert within the background.
• Image: Choose your image source (Unsplash, attachment, or direct URL).

Tips for Customizing Colors in Confluence 🌈

Aura is a powerful solution for administrators seeking to manage colors across their Confluence spaces. Here’s what you can do with Aura’s Color Management feature:

• Color Palettes: Create palettes with up to 18 colors that match your company’s branding. Admins can create, edit, sort, or delete color sets as needed.

• Custom Colors: Allow users to pick custom colors beyond the predefined palettes, ensuring compliance with Confluence color standards.

Accessing Aura’s Color Management: Navigate to Settings → Aura → Color Configuration.

Benefits of Using Color Palettes: ✅

• Brand Consistency: Ensures users stay within your brand’s color guidelines.
• Streamlined Design: Predefined palettes save time and ensure consistency.
• Visual Hierarchy: Establishes a visual hierarchy, reserving specific colors for headings, backgrounds, or important info.
