  • Select the element or text whose color you want to change.
  • In the editing toolbar - top bar, click on the "Color" option.

Does Canva have Metallic textures?

While Canva has textures you can use in your designs, you won't be able to add gradients, so if you were hoping to be able to create a shiny look, there is no simple way to do it in Canva unfortunately.

Your only option is to create your text letter by letter or use frames that support adding of gradiented images, like the video tutorial below:

Conclusion

If you want metallic colors your best bet is to use the HEX colors listed above or you can create overlays that use frames which can be used to overlap gradiented images inside of them. 

Because Canva doesn't directly support gradients, there's not easy way to go about it.
