Spaces inherit the global color scheme by default, but if you have admin permissions for a space, you can jazz it up with your very own customizable color scheme.

To change the color scheme for a space:

  1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Look and Feel from the bottom of the sidebar
  2. Choose Color Scheme
  3. Choose Select next to a scheme listed under Custom Color Scheme (if not already selected)
  4. Choose Edit
  5. Enter standard HTML/CSS2 color codes or use the color-picker Confluence colour picker to choose a new color from the palette provided
