Continuing our Divi Tutorial Series on making your Divi sites not look like Divi sites, we are going to take a look at 2 things you should change the moment you start a new Divi site.

Not only will you start working faster by setting these up, but you will also stop telling the world that you are a Divi newbie.

Let’s take a look!

Setting the Divi Default Color Palette

If you are anything like me, and I really hope you are not, you are constantly lookup up (then re-looking up) the color codes that you are using throughout your Divi sites. Luckily Divi has you covered with a solution to easily manage your Divi default color palettes and using it is super simple.

Alright, so to get going, let’s head to the following area in our Divi Install:

Divi > Theme Options

Here you will find a ton of settings as it pertains to your Divi install, but we will focus on the Color Pickers Default Palette. If you do not have a color palette in mind, check out coolors.co to get some inspiration for your Divi Default Color Palette.

With your colors selected, all you need to do is click on one of the colors that are already in the palette and paste the color code you want to take its place. 

Repeat this for each color you would like easy access to. 

SAVE

Once you have all your colors entered and saved, you will see that your Divi default color palette will show in all the color selectors throughout your Divi site.

Now, any time you need to use your project’s color palette, it will be conveniently accessible right from any module you use.

A++ for efficiency!!

Setting the Divi Default Font Typography

Another big efficiency drain is to go manually set your heading and body fonts and unfortunately, the Divi default font settings are pretty deep hidden in the Divi settings.

Let’s hit the easy button and take a look at how to set these so you can start saving some time.

Divi > Theme Customizer

This will take you to the front end of your site with a sidebar that has a bunch of options.

Theme Customizer > General Settings > Typography

Now all you need to do is set the styles and fonts you would like to be the defaults for your Headings and Body fonts.

PUBLISH

And that is all there is to it!

Each time you use an H tag it will use the default font you set, and each time you use a P tag, it will use the corresponding font. 

Awesomeness!!

Users using Divi defaults be like…

Conclusion

We really hope that this Divi Tutorial on the 2 things you should change on every Divi site you build was helpful and will help you to start saving some time when you build your Divi sites. Changing the Divi default color palette will make it super easy to access that swanky color palette, and setting up Divi default fonts will just straight up save you a ton of time.
