# Styles Quick Guide

> Comprehensive guide to customizing fonts, colors, backgrounds, cover images, and decorative elements in your documents.

Craft makes it easy to create visually stunning documents without any design expertise. The Styles feature lets you customize backdrops, cover images, text colors, and even the color of your entire document. Washi tape separators add a unique, decorative touch to your pages.

Beyond preset styles, you can create your own custom colors for the backdrop, text, and document itself.

The backdrop function offers a wide range of options:

* **Solid Colors** - Choose from a color palette or create custom colors
* **Gradients** - Blend two or more colors
* **Images** - Upload your own or select from Unsplash

## Separators and Washi Tapes

Separators help structure content within a document. Craft takes this to the next level with Washi tapes - uniquely decorated strips that serve as visual separators.

Choose from:

* **Standard lines** - Classic separator style
* **Washi tapes** - Decorative patterned separators
* **Doodles** - Hand-drawn style separators

### Washi Tape Styling

Similar to backdrop and cover image options, you can customize Washi tape separators with solid colors or patterns.

## Text and Document Color

Craft documents use the **system default** color by default - black in Dark Mode or white in Light Mode. This is represented by the black and white icon in the color selector.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/craft-support/jHjNTJCRmpMXi5vN/images/write-and-edit/styling/quick-guide/en/content/system-color.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=jHjNTJCRmpMXi5vN&q=85&s=b277771553b8fd81b717eae717ff09e3" alt="System default color icon" width="281" height="166" data-path="images/write-and-edit/styling/quick-guide/en/content/system-color.png" />

However, you have full control over your document and text colors. Choose your preferred shade manually or insert the RGB code in the color picker to get the exact color you want.
