Confluence administrators can configure a new colour scheme for the site. The default colour scheme for the site will also become the default for all spaces within it. Space administrators can configure a different colour scheme for spaces. The space colour scheme will override the site-wide colour scheme.

To change the site's colour scheme:

  1. Choose the cog icon  at top right of the screen, then choose Confluence Admin.
  2. Choose Colour Scheme in the left-hand panel.
  3. Choose Edit.
  4. Enter standard HTML/CSS2 colour codes, or use the colour-picker to choose a new colour from the palette provided.
  5. Choose Save. Any changes you make will immediately be reflected across the Confluence site.

Screenshot: Editing the colour scheme 


When you upload a site logo,  Confluence automatically detects the colours in your logo and customises the colour scheme for you. 

You can change the colour scheme as above, or reset your colour scheme back to the default (and still keep your new site logo).

To reset the colour scheme:

  1. Choose the cog icon  at top right of the screen, then choose Confluence Admin.
  2. Choose Colour Scheme in the left-hand panel.
  3. Choose Edit.
  4. Choose Reset.

Notes

  • If you make a mistake, just choose Reset and then try again.
  • Some UI elements are specific to the default theme and may not take effect for other themes.
