Changing the colours in the brand board will not automatically update the colours in existing emails or funnels. The brand board's colour section is used for quick access, and will be displayed in the colour selector for future use. Existing designs and content will remain unchanged, and you will need to manually update each element to your branding colours.

If you want to be able to automatically change colours across designs, make use of global colours instead. Be sure to select the global colour to use in your design, and whenever this colour is adjusted it will be adjusted in your design.
