Please note that if you're editing an older version of the theme using this editor, any changes you make will replace previous modifications and cannot be reversed.

Brand color

The brand color is used as an accent color, reflected in interactive elements such as call-to-action buttons, links, and highlighted elements. 

You can change the color by clicking on it and opening the color palette, or by typing in a Hex code. 

When you change the color, you can see how it looks in real-time in the Preview window.

  • Dark Mode 
  • Light Mode

The mode also allows you to create your own custom theme.

Variations

The color scheme offers several options to add a unique touch to your theme. It controls the colors of your backgrounds, text, and other UI elements. You can select from three options:

  • Neutral - The scheme will composed with shade of neutral tones.
  • Monochromatic - The scheme will use hues from your brand color to created a low-saturated color palette.
  • Custom - This gives you more options, for example, you can set a color for your header and choose a specific color to create the color palette for the rest of the UI elements.

Custom

Note that there are two different colors you can use. You can choose a color for the header and a secondary color that will affect the hue of your site.
