# Changing Object Colours in PlanStudio

PlanStudio offers several ways to customise the colour of objects, giving you flexibility and control over their appearance.

**1. Enter a Colour Manually**  
You can manually set a colour by typing a colour name (in lowercase) or a hexadecimal (hex) code directly into the *Colour* text field. For example, you could type `red` or `#FF001F`.

To make an object invisible, simply type `transparent` into the colour field

**2. Use the Colour Picker**  
Click the colour picker next to the text field to open a more visual interface. From here, you can:

- Enter a hex code or RGB values,
- Select a colour visually using the palette,
- Choose from your recently used colours.

**3. Where to Change Colours**  
Most objects allow colour changes from:

- The **Inspector panel**, if they are configurable (Zones, Detail lines etc.) or
- The **Themes** menu available in the diagram preview, which allows you to override set objects such as Evacuation paths.

These options give you flexibility whether you're setting colours individually per object, per diagram or applying a broader theme to a job.
