Colors & Appearance
Choose a color palette, set your Ghost accent color, and configure light or dark appearance in MakerOS.
MakerOS has three independent appearance settings: a color palette, your Ghost accent color, and color mode. Each palette includes light and dark surfaces. Choosing a palette does not change your accent color.
Color Palette
- In Ghost Admin, open Settings → Design & branding → Customize.
- Select the Theme tab.
- Under Site wide, choose a Palette.
- Click Save.
The available palettes are:
- Default
- Terracotta
- Developer Emerald
- Vintage Paper
- Slumber Navy
- Signal Blue
- Deep Teal
- Citrus
- Sage Garden
- Rosé Pine
- Electric Rose
- Dark Matter
Accent Color
- In the same customization panel, select the Brand tab.
- Set your Accent color.
- Click Save.
MakerOS uses this color for primary buttons and control focus rings in every palette. Choose a color that keeps button labels easy to read. A palette does not require a specific accent hex value.
Color Mode
In Theme → Site wide, choose a Color mode and save:
- Auto: Uses the visitor's saved light or dark preference when available. Otherwise, it starts with their system appearance. Visitors can switch between light and dark using the footer toggle.
- Light: Keeps the site in light mode and hides the footer toggle.
- Dark: Keeps the site in dark mode and hides the footer toggle.
