What is a badge?
For convenience, we only mention palette badges. But everything in this post applies equally to patterns and colors - they also have badges.

A palette badge is a small thumbnail image of a palette, pattern or colour, along with some information about it - the name of the creator, an indication of it's current "heart" rating, it's rank and how many comments it has.

Badges are linked to their palette, pattern or colour pages - when someone clicks on a badge, the relevant page opens. This makes it a nice way to introduce your work to another ColourLover.

You can post badges in comments to other ColourLovers - to share your own work or give credit to those that inspired you. You can post them in the "Description" field , in a forum post or in a comment on a blog.

Badges as SPAM
Be sensitive - Some people consider the unsolicited posting of badges on their profiles as "spamming".

How to post a palette badge

On every palette page, you will find a link to that palette's badge to the right of the page, under the heading "Share This Palette Badge"

Copy the entire badge link that is listed here. Now you can post it in any place where you are normally able to submit text - for example, in a comment, in a forum post or in a Group conversation.
