A-hoy my fellow colour fanatics!
It’s a simple one, but an oh-so-useful-and-pretty one.
There came a time when we were referencing our colour palette far too often and we didn’t have a formal reference in Miro… So we created a colour palette template, and you can use it for your colours too!

Who can use it
- Marketers or designers can present color swatches as part of their moodboards, projects, brand styleguides, or as a reference file.
- Those who like to integrate Miro sticky notes into their designs - having a reference handy makes things super easy!
When to use it?
