Colorization Methods & Setup

Chamevo provides several options to let your customers recolor text, SVGs, and PNG images directly in the Product Designer. With the right setup, you can give them complete flexibility or restrict choices to fit your brand style.

Supported Image Formats

Text Elements → fully colorizable
SVG Images → supported (single-path SVGs work best for linked colors)
PNG Images → supported with additional Color Modes (see below)

Other image formats (JPG, GIF, etc.) cannot be recolored.

Colorization Options

1. Color Picker

Enter a single hex value (e.g., #000000) in the settings.
This enables a color wheel where customers can choose any color they like.

2. Color Palette

Enter multiple hex values (e.g., #000000, #FF0000, #008000).
Customers will see a preset palette instead of a free picker.
This keeps color choices consistent with your brand or product requirements.

3. Color Link Group

Assign a unique link ID to group elements together.
When one element’s color is changed, all linked elements update at the same time.

Works with:

Text elements
PNG images
Single-path SVG images

Example: Link the front and back text of a t-shirt so the customer only picks a color once.

PNG Color Modes

When working with PNG images, you can select a color mode to control how recoloring behaves:

Mode	Resulting Effect	Best Use Case
Tint	Recolors the entire image with the chosen hue, while preserving light/dark balance	Theming icons or graphics to match brand colors
Multiply	Applies a color cast that blends with the original hues and darkens the image	Adding depth or tinting photos — works best on white base PNGs

For clothing mockups (like white t-shirts), use Multiply mode to simulate realistic recoloring.

Where to Set Color Options

You can define colorization settings in several places:

Initial Elements in Product Builder

While building a product, select an element.
In the Element Options panel, set its available colorization method.

Single Designs & Design Categories

Go to the Designs backend.
Open Category Options or Single Design Options.
Under the Colors tab, define specific colorization rules.

Summary

Color Picker = unlimited colors
Color Palette = restricted set of brand colors
Color Link Group = synchronize multiple elements
PNG Color Modes (Tint & Multiply) = flexible recoloring with realistic effects

Use these tools strategically to balance creative freedom with brand consistency.
