Instead of picking colors by hand, ClientSynq can read them from your website or your brand guide. It shows what it found and suggests a primary, secondary and accent color. Nothing changes until you choose.

Before you start
- This is part of the Enterprise plan.
- You need to be the owner, have the Administrator role, or have a role with Manage Branding or Edit Settings (Roles page, Settings group).
- A brand guide must be a PDF of 25MB or less.
Read your website
- Open Settings (under your name, bottom left of the sidebar), then Brand.
- Under Enterprise brand kit, find Match your website or brand guide.
- Enter your website address, for example
https://yourbrand.com. - Click Read website. The button shows Reading site… while it works.
ClientSynq reads the page and its stylesheets. If it finds no colors, you see a message instead of results. A PDF guide whose text carries no color values says so and points you to the color fields on the page.
Upload a brand guide
- On the same page, click Upload brand guide (PDF).
- Choose the PDF. The button shows Reading PDF… while it works.
The PDF is read and not stored.
Review and apply
The results panel shows:
- Proposal: a suggested Primary, Secondary and Accent color. Click Use on one, or Use all three. Under the proposal, a Pay now sample shows whether white or black button text is readable on the primary color, with the WCAG AA result.
- Swatches by weight in the stylesheets (website) or Palette from the guide (PDF). Click a swatch to make it the primary color.
- Color tokens (PDF only): each color's name, hex, Pantone, CMYK and RGB values, its role and the page it is on.
- Logo candidates (website) or Images in the guide (PDF). Click Use as logo, Dark logo or Icon to use an image.
- Fonts: the typefaces found, with the closest Google Fonts match.

Colors go into the form on the page. Click Save Brand Settings to keep them. An image is stored as soon as you click one of its buttons.
Click Dismiss to close the panel without applying anything else.
Good to know
- A logo drawn directly in the web page (inline SVG) cannot be imported. The panel says so; save the file from your site and upload it under Company Logo.
- Imported images must be 2MB or less after conversion.
- Fonts are shown for reference only. There is no button to apply them.
