Set text selection colors in Framer
Learn how to set text selection colors in Framer. Selection color lets you customize the text and background colors when selecting elements on your sites. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.
Lesson details
Set the text selection color for your site so highlighted text fits the visual system and remains legible. Choose a background and foreground combination with enough contrast across the page themes where visitors can select copy.
Test the style on body text, headings, links, and code or inverted sections. Avoid a selection color that hides the current text color or makes links impossible to distinguish.
Keep the layer tree easy to read while you work. Clear names and purposeful containers make later responsive edits faster and reduce accidental changes to the wrong parent.
