Greetings! I have recently implemented the feature of a [Color Scheme Toggle Button](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-color-scheme-toggle) in my theme. By default, the button transitions to a dark mode with a cardinal hue, as is illustrated in the snapshot.

I am not, by disposition, a programmer possessing proficiency in coding; however, I progressively pursue a rudimentary understanding of these aptitudes, tackling some elementary configurations with the occasional need for guidance. The present circumstance indeed appears to be one such instance where I seek enlightened assistance.

1. Is it requisite of me to modify the CSS of my indigenous theme, or should changes be implemented within the component’s code?
2. May I entreat you to provide an exemplar of CSS code designated to alter the entirety of red hues?

Ps.To translate this text into English, I used the Discourse AI Translator. 👍
