A Confluence 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,
-
Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:
- Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
- Select 'Colour Scheme' in the left-hand panel.
This will bring up a new screen. See screenshot below.
- Click 'Edit'. 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
- Tab Navigation Background - the background colour of the tab navigation menus
- Tab Navigation Text - the text of the tab navigation menus
- Breadcrumbs Text - the breadcrumbs text in the top bar of the page
- 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.
- Tab Navigation Background Highlight - the background colour of the tab navigation menu when highlighted
- Tab Navigation Text Highlight - the text of the tab navigation menu when highlighted
- Top Bar Menu Selected Background - the background colour of the top bar drop down menu when selected
- Top Bar Menu Item - the text colour of the menu items in the top bar drop down menu
- Page Menu Selected Background - the background colour of the drop down page menu when selected
- Page Menu Item Text - the text of the menu items in the drop down page menu
- Menu Item Selected Background - the background colour of the menu item when selected (applies to both the top bar and page drop down menus)
- Menu Item Selected Text - the text colour of the menu item when selected (applies to both the top bar and page drop down menus)
Please note that some UI elements are specific to the default theme and may not take affect for other themes.

For example I would like to use the border color from the space on all of my panels. That way if the space's color scheme changes, the panels on the various pages would change too.
