Configure brand colours in the HTML Experience with Experience Builder
Experience Builder
Your HTML Experience can be styled with your brand colours.
In this article, you learn how to change the brand colours in the Experience folder in the Experience builder, by overwriting the existing ones in the colors.css and the custom.css. Afterwards, you will create a preview version and merge the changes to make them available in your app.
The following brand colours are necessary to ensure a harmonic colour matching:
- Primary brand colour (hex code)
- Secondary brand colour (hex code)
- Background colour (standard is white)
In order to guarantee a harmonic design, use the same colours as in the native app areas.
