Create and use a theme 

Site branding introduces the option for you to create and manage your own theme for your sites and experiences.  These themes will be available only within the site it was created within for site owners to select in Change the Look.  To learn more about creating themes visit Site theme.

1. On your site, select Settings   and then Site branding > Theme.

2. Select + New theme to launch the theme designer experience.

3. Choose colors for the Primary, Text, Background and Accent colors of your theme.

   • Primary color: The primary color is central to your brand identity and personality.  This color is used predominantly in your sites and experiences.

   • Text color: This color is used for the text in your experiences. Consider how this color will work with your selected primary and background colors.

   • Background color: The background color is used behind your text and images to display all of the content in your sites and experiences.

4. Configure the Dark theme setting for your theme.  This setting should be considered if you have customized your background color in your theme.  If you have used a light color for your background color of your theme this will remain off. If you have used a dark or darker color for the background color of your theme you should turn this setting on.  

   : Dark theme will help to automatically adjust the text and other menu items to use lighter colors so it can be seen more easily.  This setting is utilized primarily for dark background themes.

5. Give your theme a unique name and save to complete the creation of your theme. This name will be what is displayed in the Change the look experience.
