- Font Colours - Allows you to change the font colour (Step 5 walks you through how to manually add a colour). The first colour is the title, the second colour is the main body text and the third colour option is for the 'Read More' link.
- Save Colours - By clicking 'Save Colours,' you can save your colour in the colour picker, meaning you won't have to repeatedly add the RGB/HEX values.

Main Colours - The main colours mark the background of the article block. The first colour option is for the main body background and the second colour signifies the border around the image.
An important point to note is whether your email design is black (for example) and you would like the article block to match the same background colour, you will need to set the main colour as black.
- Font Sizes - The font sizes allows you to change the font size of the article. Please note this is measured in PTS and not PX. The first size represents the article title, the second is for the main body text and the third is for the read more link.
