How colors make us feel and how colors frame our ability to focus on the story or wander into the metaverse, this is because the individual's emotional relationship with color is entirely their own. As we work to make our software more accessible, this new release by Jeferson Borba provides all visitors with the ability to choose the primary color of the site and primary color of the ad placement.

You can also access "Colors" in your user settings to change the primary color of the site and the ad placements.
The defaults (Evergreen, Duotone, Mysterious, and Classic) are from our brand guidelines, but you can choose whatever HEX your heart desires.
