COLORS

Configuring Colors in Theme Settings

FAQ

How can I make sure my colors are accessible?

Check if the contrast of your colors meets WCAG Accessibility Criteria.

Theme Settings

There are 3 sections in Theme Settings for Colors: Brand Colors, POWER, and HubSpot Default.

Colors → Brand Colors

The colors set here will define the default colors for your primary brand color as well as the necessary colors for light and dark schemes.

theme-settings-brand-colors

With POWER, you can switch between the light scheme and the dark scheme in a single click.

For the light and dark schemes to work properly, both Light colors (Base and Accent) need to be light and both Dark colors (Base and Accent) need to be dark.

By default, the Base Color Light is the text color for dark scheme and Base Color Dark is the text color for light scheme.

Mixing light and dark colors within the same color scheme can cause legibility issues.

Colors → POWER

These settings allow you to further refine the colors used for each color scheme, as well as additional options to change the style of POWER modules further.

We recommend using the Setup Guide template to preview your colors and coming back to the Theme Settings after configuring your first page to make further adjustments and refine the colors.

Many modules also include the option to change the colors individually.
