About Brandee

Add your company or client brand colors with a fun and easy-to-use interface for both you and your clients. Brandee is also a good solution for when you don’t want to give your clients access to a color picker.

What is Brandee is great for?

     
  • Setting up a handful of easily accessible colors for entries on your site
  •  
  • Individual pages or sections of your site that need their own brand colors
  •  
  • Making sure your clients don’t choose incorrect colors using a color picker
  •  
  • Adding new colors as a client’s brand expands and having them instantly available in new and existing Brandee fields

What can Brandee’s custom field output?
Once you add your colors using Brandee’s simple interface, they will be available to select in Brandee’s custom dropdown field. The custom field can output the following for the selected color:

     
  • The color name
  •  
  • The color ID
  •  
  • The color’s HEX value
  •  
  • The color’s RGB value
  •  
  • A contrast color is also available (usually used to make text legible when used on top of the color)
