Color Library Setup

Create all your style colors in a library for easy use. No more typos in the color names due to manual typing. Choose colors directly from the library, both on styles and in item details.

Introduction & Best Practice


The colors overview is a library where you can create the colors that you are going to refer to in the sales and production orders. These are the colors you can pick from when you add a Style color to a style. The Color library can also be used when creating item colors - it saves you time and the risk of errors when adding colors to an item.

 

Table of contents

Before you start

1) Make sure the ‘Color Admin’ role is assigned to you as a user; otherwise, it will NOT be possible to see this section. To learn more about assigning different roles to a user, click here.

2) To set up your colors in multiple languages, click here.

3) Use a Pantone code under 'Color Reference' to generate a colored swatch both by Style Color Names and in Item colors

4) For the use of 'Color Group' you need to create groups under the subtab 'Color Groups'

Creating Colors


1) Choose the sub-tab 'Colors' and click the 'Add style color' button




2) In the new table row, type in the color name.

3) Type the ID and the ID2 (if you are using this option). Both fields are optional.

NOTE: The ID is often used as a part of the SKU that can be generated per style. So it is important to consider the logic. If you already have color codes in the ERP or other system, this code must be used as the ID for colors in Delogue.

4)Type a Pantone number - this field is optional

When adding the Pantone code, a colored swatch is displayed, as you can see in the images above and below:


NOTE: You cannot create style colors with the same combination of Name and ID. This is to ensure valid data for the ERP solutions.

5) The color is by default  set to "active"

6) Color note is optional, and the information cannot be seen in the platform (read more below)

7) Add a color group if needed. Read more below

8) Click the small green save icon to save

Changing Color ID's

If you need to change either the ID or ID2, the system comes with a pop-up. 

pop-up

This is to inform you that the changes made in the IDs will be updated on any sample request where this color is in use. 

Simply read and click "OK" to proceed. 

Renaming Colors 

You can change the name of your colors whenever necessary. Simply mouse over the color name and click the blue edit icon - or double-click on the table row.

When in edit mode, type in the new name and click the small green icon to save your changes.

Adding a Color Note

For each Color you can add a Color Note - here you can type in extra info if you need it.

The Color Note will be exported when you export to XML or make an FTP export, but it will not be displayed on the platform. 



Deactivate a Color

To do so, select the color you want to deactivate and un toggle the slider in the column 'ACTIVE'.

Integration with Your ERP

If you are going to integrate with an ERP provider, make sure that the IDs and style colors have the same structure as the ERP.

For some ERP systems, it is a requirement that the ID have the same amount of digits on all colors. 

Unsure of what rules to follow? 
- Please reach out to your ERP provider for guidance. 

Use multiple languages

It is possible to include colors in different languages.

Read more about how to set up additional languages here.
