Company palette and fonts
Last updated:
Translated from the Italian guide. Narciso itself is in Italian, so the names of buttons, menus and fields are shown exactly as they appear on screen, with a translation in brackets where it helps.
Step 2 of the Business registration defines the business's visual identity. The page is split in two halves: on the left the Palette aziendale (Company palette), on the right the Font aziendali (Company fonts). No field is compulsory: you can press AVANTI (Next) even without changing anything.

Company palette#
The text on the page says: «Definisci i colori che credi rappresentino meglio la tua attività. Questi colori verranno usati nel tuo gestionale.» (Define the colours you think best represent your business. These colours will be used in your management program.)
- The colours are squares in a grid, with the colour's name under each square. When you hold the mouse over one, the hexadecimal code appears.
- The palette contains from 3 to 6 colours. The dashed square with + adds a colour; with 3 colours the bin for deleting does not appear, with 6 the + disappears.
- The first colour is the main one.
- With no logo the palette is the default one (gold, white, black, dark grey).
From the logo to the palette#
When you upload a logo, or choose a generated one, the program automatically takes the colours from the logo, giving more weight to the more vivid ones. The palette obtained this way replaces the previous one, even if it had been edited by hand. If you remove the logo the palette goes back to the default values.
Changing a colour#
A click on a square opens the colour picker. The picker closes with another click on the square, with a click outside, or with Invio (Enter) or Esc. In the picker you can:
- choose the colour in the colour and shade area;
- type the hexadecimal code (with or without
#, also in the abbreviated 3-digit form): the colour updates as you type if the code is valid, otherwise the last valid one returns when you leave the field; - choose one of the suggested named colours.
Company fonts#
The text on the page says: «Seleziona le tipografie che comunicano al meglio il tuo brand.» (Select the typefaces that best communicate your brand.)
- At the top there is the search Cerca font per nome... (Search font by name...), which filters as you type, without distinguishing capital letters.
- Each font is written in its own typeface, with the category beside it (for example Sans-serif, Serif, Handwriting). If the search finds nothing, «Nessun font trovato.» (No font found.) appears.
- To choose a font, click on the row or on the little heart: the heart becomes full and gold and the font moves to the top of the list. Another click deselects it.
- There is no minimum or maximum number of fonts.
Saving the step#
AVANTI saves the palette and fonts and takes you to step 3 (see Adding staff during registration). If saving fails, «Errore durante il salvataggio dello Step 2» (Error while saving Step 2) appears: you stay on the step and can try again.
