Add Custom Colors to the Divi TinyMCE Color Picker

Written by Dan Mossop

Enhancing the Divi module settings TinyMCE editor with a custom row of colors can make your design process smoother and more tailored to your brand's palette. This post shows you how you can expand the color picker to include a new selection of colors. 

Add Custom Colors to the TinyMCE Color Picker using JS

The code snippet below adds a new row of colors to the top of the TinyMCE color picker in Divi modules such as the text module. Each color is defined in an easily modifiable array, allowing you to configure your own custom color palette. 

Here is the jQuery code:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    var colorArray = {
        'Forest Green': '#228B22',
        'Mint Green': '#98FB98',
        'Olive': '#808000',
        'Teal': '#008080',
        'Emerald': '#50C878',
        'Lime Green': '#32CD32',
        'Coral': '#FF7F50',
        'Turquoise': '#40E0D0'
    };

    jQuery(document).on('click', '.et-fb-modal__module-settings .mce-colorbutton .mce-open', function() {
        var colorRowId = 'db_custom_tinymce_colors';

        // Check if the color row has been added
        if (jQuery('#' + colorRowId).length === 0) {
            var colorRow = '<tr id="' + colorRowId + '">';

            jQuery.each(colorArray, function(name, hex) {
                colorRow += '<td class="mce-grid-cell">' +
                    '<div data-mce-color="' + hex + '" role="option" tabindex="-1" style="background-color: ' + hex + '" title="' + name + '"></div>' +
                    '</td>';
            });

            colorRow += '</tr>';
            jQuery('.mce-colorbutton-grid').prepend(colorRow);
        }
        
        // Set height:auto to the parent .mce-floatpanel
        jQuery('.mce-colorbutton-grid').closest('.mce-floatpanel').css('height', 'auto');
    });
});
</script>

To add the code, navigate to:

Divi > Theme Options > Integration > Add code to the head of your blog.

Paste the script into the box and then save the changes

To use the colors, open a Divi module setting and click on the color picker. You should see the new row of colors appear. They can be used in the same way as the existing ones.
