Color scheme is in beta. It is available for owners and editors. To use color schemes, you need to install either the Classic or Muse themes.
Color schemes let you customize the background color of your brand guidelines while adjusting type styles, buttons, and accent colors for a cohesive look. You can create and manage multiple color schemes and apply them to pages, sections, and footers to ensure consistency and enhance your brand’s identity.
Color schemes offer various customization possibilities—let’s explore their use cases.
