> Hi @Aizada_M 👋 You can access and make changes to your color palettes by going to `admin-customize-colors.` there you will see various color palettes that you change the individual colors that you can change to alter the look of your forum.
> 
> The color palettes are used by your forum themes in `admin-customiz-themes` tab, so I would first have a look in the ones you are using to see which respective palettes they are using so you know which palette to change.

Thank you very much for your reply!  
I have previously tried to customize the color scheme through admin-customize-colors and admin-customiz-themes, but could not succeed. I think it’s because “[Color Scheme Toggle Button](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-color-scheme-toggle)” is not a theme, but just a theme component. Based on what I have written, I believe that the “Color Scheme Toggle Button” has its own customized color scheme in CSS.

This invaluable knowledge is indeed crucial to me, and I shall certainly scrutinize the materials thoroughly. Once again, allow me to express my profound gratitude to you 🙏
