    "secondary":  $secondary,
    "success":    $success,
    "info":       $info,
    "warning":    $warning,

    "light":      $light,
    "dark":       $dark
  ),
  $theme-colors
);

$link-color:                        $primary;
$link-hover-color:                  darken($link-color, 10%);

$navbar-light-hover-color:          $primary;

By using this method, You have to change color codes only at one place and all your website color shades will be set properly.

Gulp must be running in your system to compile this, so after saving _user-variables.scss file, Gulp will compile the same and you will see the new color scheme.

#2 Using CSS

If you want to change theme default color scheme just using CSS, You can choose one of the 2 methods (We recommend Method 2 – Using color.css)

Method 1: Using style.css

If you don’t want to take advantage of future updates of theme, You can change theme color by replacing your new HEX color code in style.css located in template/assets/css directory. Please note this is not recommended option.

Method 2: Using color.css

Please look out for color.css file in template/assets/css directory for new sample color as an example. You should link that CSS at the end in head section after theme CSS like below code:


<!-- Theme CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/style.css" />

<!-- Theme Color CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/color.css" />

Provided color.css within theme is for new color scheme as an example. Just make very few changes in variables of this file and you are good to go. A detailed explanation of how to change color can be found in color.css file as well.
