I found that CSS code, but I if you select **Solarized Light** [on Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface), there is definitely a difference between the light/dark theme in the sidebar colors. How can we make such changes and link them to a color scheme? edit - I see, it’s derived from `--primary-very-low` but this in some situations creates some not-so-nice combinations. I’ll play around with it. edit 2 - It’s funny. My Meta theme: Light with Color Scheme: Solarized Light. I take the primary color code by inspecting meta: #002B36, when I enter this in my color scheme, the accents become “default Discourse” blue and not #F0ECD7 as expected. edit 3 - initial question has been answered, marked as solved.
