Host socialColors yourself

Prefer to get a copy and use socialColors alongside your own project’s source code while building locally and serving in production? Downloading and hosting socialColors yourself is great for when you have many sites or apps in one codebase or want to customize parts of socialColors for your workflow.

You've download a copy already, right?

Using Colors with CSS

Copy the entire /css/socialcolors.css into your project´s static assets directory (or where ever you prefer to keep front end assets or vendor stuff)

Add a reference to the copied /css/socialcolors.css file into the <head> of each template or page that you want to use socialColors on.

<head>
  <link href="/your-path-to-socialcolors/css/socialcolors.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <!--load all styles -->
</head>
<body>
  <!-- Colors -->  
  <p class="sc sc-instagram sc-color">Test</p>
  <div class="sc sc-instagram sc-hover"></div>
  <!-- Background-Colors --> 
  <p class="sc sc-instagram sc-background">Test</p>
  <div class="sc sc-instagram sc-background-hover"></div>
</body>
