A site administrator can configure a new colour scheme for the site dynamically from the Administration Console.

The default colour scheme for the site will also become the default for all spaces within it. However, it is possible for space administrators to configure a different colour scheme for spaces from the space administration screens.

To change the site's colour scheme,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Colour schemes' in the left panel.
    This will bring up a new screen. See Screenshot below.

  2. Click 'Edit colour scheme'. Enter standard HTML/CSS2 colour codes, or use the colour-picker to choose a new colour from the palette provided. Any changes you make will immediately be reflected across the Confluence installation.

The colour scheme applies to the following UI elements:

  • Top Bar - the bar across the top of the page that contains the breadcrumbs.
  • Space Name Text - the text of the current space name located above the page title.
  • Heading Text - all heading tags throughout the space.
  • Links - all links throughout the space.
  • Borders and Dividers - table borders and dividing lines.
  • Menu Bar Background - background of top navigational buttons
  • Menu Bar Text - text that appears on the menu bar
  • Menu Bar Background Highlight - background colour of menu bar when highlighted.
  • Menu Bar Text Highlight - menu bar text when highlighted

Handy Hint
If you mess things up, just click the 'Reset Default Colour Scheme' button and then try again.
