Users discuss how to modify the default Light color palette in Discourse without altering the original theme. anderer initially struggled to find a way to change default colors, noting that direct CSS edits are not recommended as they don’t adapt to dark mode. merefield explains that users can create a new color scheme based on the Light theme, allowing edits while preserving the default. anderer confirms this method works and shares it to help others facing the same issue. merefield emphasizes that copying the default rather than editing it directly is the correct approach. The conversation highlights that the process isn’t intuitive, making documentation valuable for future users.
I was wondering how I can change the Light (default) Color Palette as it is not listed in the Customize/Colors Section … although changing in CSS works - I found out that it is not recommendable as then the colors does not switch when changing to dark theme. so only after some research here on meta I found the “preferred” way
Maybe it is an option to include changing the default colors in the admin area - if not I am documenting it here for others who might just want to change one or two colors from default.
