Color Scheme

Customize color scheme, adaptive dark mode, and global color presets.

These settings apply to the whole site, so a change here is visible on every page that uses the feature. Find them under Canvas > Theme Options, in the Color Scheme tab.

The tab sits in the rail on the left of the screen, with its own panel beside it:
