How to create CUSTOMISED colour themes in SharePoint Online like a pro!

In this video, we will look at how you can create custom SharePoint Online colour themes that can be used within your sites!

Site colour themes are an excellent way to incorporate your organisation's branding into your SharePoint Online site; however, the standard way to create themes is quite limited 😣

I’ll show you how to add additional branding colours to your themes to really bring them to life 🔥

The method we use requires some PowerShell, but it is extremely straightforward!

Microsoft uses these techniques within the themes they offer, but they do not provide any guidance...

That’s where this video comes in!🙌 🙌

Great guide... What about hubsite navigation backgrounds?

Thanks Dan for the sharing! Can i like custom colour for specific page, means different page different colour and not applied it as a theme to the whole sharepoint.

Wow, this is what I've been looking for! I've gone through the whole process and decided to replace some of the darker shades for other branding colors we use. However, my new theme doesn't reflect the new colors. My accent color appears in the theme, but it doesn't replace the darker shade within the text font colors. Are we not able to swap out more than one?

Thanks for sharing these usefull tips. Do you have any content showing how we can apply 100% width to a sharepoint page? When I share lists in my pages is almost impossible not to have a horizontal navigation...

After the updates Microsoft made in June - August 2024 I'm having an issue. My background is Dark Blue (company colors) with white font. When I use my Copy To or Move To options, the new window comes up with a white background with white font. I have no idea why this is happening now (just started this month). Any recommendations?

Wish you would go into more detail about the colour slots.

Also When I copied the code I had two slots disabled. Is that normal?

Hi! I tried adding the accent, but once my theme is in sharepoint it doesnt show the "customize" option.

Great video.
I'm the Admin of my site but my company has deleted all themes and left only one so whiteish that i need to wear sunglasses when I browse my site.
Am I still able to override and add a custom team to my site anyway?
