Palette
The colour palette editor is available from several tools (like Bubblelines, Cirrus, Knots, Trends) and allows you to customize the global palette of colours used. The meaning of colours depends on each tool, but generally there's a set of colours that is used in order and if additional colours are needed, Voyant starts over again with the first colour in the set. For example, compare the two Bubblelines below, the first using the default palette (which has more colours available then terms to show) and the second using a palette with only two colours defined (so they are repeated for some terms):
| Default Palette |
Custom Palette |
For tools that support it, you can access the colour palette editor via the tool's options icon:

The actual palette editor will open with the currently selected (or default) colour palette. You can perform the following operations:
- select a colour using the gradients on the right or type in a hexidecimal colour code and then click the add button
- click on one of the existing colours in the centre and then click the remove button
- click on the clear button to remove all colours (you can cancel the editing if you change your mind)
- select a preset palette from the list on the left
Once you're done editing the palette, click the Save New Palette button (and then confirm or cancel the options change).
