Your brand color
One color paints every page your visitors see — your public site, the daily report, shared trail pages, proposals and QR codes. The dashboard and the field app are deliberately not painted with it: the tools look the same in every workspace.
Settings → Organization details → Primary color sets one color, and TrailsIQ paints the pages your own visitors see with it — your public site, the daily report, a trail page you have shared, a proposal, a QR code. One choice, everywhere the public meets your organization.
What it paints
- Your public site — headers, buttons and accents across every page a visitor lands on. The website builder has its own Accent color if you want the site to differ; leave that blank and it falls back to this one. See How to use the website builder.
- Your daily report and its public header.
- Public trail and network pages, and anything you have shared by link.
- Proposals and contracts you send to a client.
- QR codes you generate, which start on this color.
Your logo, your trail colors and your map style are all separate choices. This is the one color that runs through the pages you hand to somebody else.
What it does not paint
The tools themselves. The dashboard and the field app wear one set of colors for every organization, and your brand color does not change them.
That is deliberate. The app is a tool your crew uses, not a page you are presenting: a menu, a button and a status chip mean the same thing in every workspace, and they are easier to learn, to screenshot and to ask us about when they look the same for everybody. Every screen in this documentation is a screen you will recognize.
Where your organization is named inside the app — your workspace card, your logo, your public-site preview — that is your identity, and it is unchanged.
Picking one
Pick the color you already use on a sign or a jersey. There is nothing else to set and nothing that has to match it.
Two things worth knowing before you choose:
- A color chosen to look good on a sign is not always legible as text on a white page. A mid yellow or a pale green will look right printed and disappear on a screen. If your accent looks faint on your public site, a slightly deeper version of the same hue is usually the whole fix.
- The color you set is used exactly as you set it. Nothing is adjusted behind your back, so what you see in the picker is what a visitor sees.
Change it whenever you like — it takes effect on your public pages straight away, and there is nothing to republish.
