Overview of Theme Colors

In the Theme Configuration tab of Letter Management > Branding Management, you can create custom themes with specific sets of colors to represent your brand.

Theme Configuration tab showing all the types of colors.

Each theme includes three types of colors:

  • Variable Colors: These are the colors that are associated with specific elements and controls within the theme. These colors can be modified according to the branding used by your organization. See Variable Colors.
  • Utility Colors: These are the colors that are associated with system messages (that is, error, warning, and success messages). These colors are set by default and can't be modified.
  • Grayscale: These are the grayscale colors associated with the theme (used for the font color, labels, borders, and others). These colors are set by default and can't be modified.

Dayforce displays each of these color groups for your reference, however, only the Variable Colors can be modified.
