Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Colors to add: slug, name and hex value.
$wpide_brand_colors = array(
array( 'slug' => 'brand', 'name' => 'Brand', 'color' => '#2271b1' ),
array( 'slug' => 'brand-dark', 'name' => 'Brand dark', 'color' => '#135e96' ),
array( 'slug' => 'accent', 'name' => 'Accent', 'color' => '#d63638' ),
);
add_filter( 'wp_theme_json_data_theme', function ( $theme_json ) use ( $wpide_brand_colors ) {
$data = $theme_json->get_data();
$palette = isset( $data['settings']['color']['palette'] ) && is_array( $data['settings']['color']['palette'] ) ? $data['settings']['color']['palette'] : array();
$palette = isset( $palette['theme'] ) && is_array( $palette['theme'] ) ? $palette['theme'] : $palette;
$by_slug = array();
foreach ( array_merge( $palette, $wpide_brand_colors ) as $color ) {
if ( isset( $color['slug'], $color['color'] ) ) {
$by_slug[ $color['slug'] ] = $color;
}
}
return $theme_json->update_with( array(
'version' => 3,
'settings' => array(
'color' => array(
'palette' => array_values( $by_slug ),
),
),
) );
} );Notes
Colors with a slug the theme already uses replace the theme color. Each color also becomes a CSS variable such as --wp--preset--color--brand.
