This article refers to the new Studio Two Editor, released in November 2026. If you're unsure whether you’re using the Studio Editor or the Studio Two Editor, view more information here.

Use site colors to give the site a consistent look. Edit the default colors or add your own in the Site Styles panel.


About site colors

Every site you create in the Studio Two Editor comes with 9 colors by default, named Color 1 to Color 9. The top 6 are the default colors for apps and elements.

Whether you've created a site with Aria or chosen a template, these colors reflect the site's initial style. You can change them and add your own.

The site styles panel is open, displaying the site's colors.

Changing site colors

Customize the site's colors in the Site Styles panel to match its branding.

To change the site's colors:

  1. Go to your editor.

  2. Click the Site Styles icon on the left side of the editor.

  3. Select the Colors tab.

  4. Click the color you want to customize.

  5. Choose a new color from the picker. You can select it from the palette, use the dropper, or enter the hex code into the field.

  6. Click Apply.

Color 1 has been selected in the panel, and is being edited.
