Beaver Builder’s [Global Colors](https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-builder/user-interface/global-styles/#colors-tab) feature is fantastic! However, I’m puzzled why the colors I set there only appear in the default BB module color picker presets, not in custom BB modules. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks

Did you add a _connection_ for the colour in your modules settings array?

Thank you, it helps, I found it here → [Customize field connections | Beaver Builder Knowledge Base](https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-themer/1.4/developer/customize-field-connections-themer/#connect-module-fields)

I would also like to know if it is possible to add a _connection_ for a custom color picker field? I copied the code from the original BB module file “/bb-plugin/includes/ui-field-color.php”.

Thanks

You are creating a custom module with a colour field or are you trying to create a new custom color field?

I’m creating a custom module with a custom field (set of different type of fields) containing a color picker. How can I add a connection to this custom field?  
Thanks

Connections are set in the settings array, each setting can have a connection, check out the modules settings arrays in the modules, there are many examples
