Choose Your Accent Color!

One of the simplest ways to start personalizing your SanityPress site is by adjusting its color scheme. In this post, we’ll show you how to easily change the basic accent colors through the Tailwind configuration file, allowing you to start theming your site in no time.

Why Accent Colors Matter🔗

The accent color is one of the primary colors used across your website. It often appears on buttons, links, and other call-to-action elements. By changing the accent color, you can immediately shift the feel of your site to align with your brand or personal style.

Setting Up Accent Colors with Tailwind CSS🔗

SanityPress uses Tailwind CSS, which allows you to extend and customize your theme with ease. To change the accent colors of your SanityPress site, you’ll need to modify the Tailwind config file. Let's walk through it:

Tailwind Config File🔗

Below is a basic configuration for the theme where we define custom colors such as ink, canvas, and accent.

const config: Config = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        ink: '#000',
        canvas: '#fff',

        accent: '#000',

        // add more colors here
      },
    },
  },
}

Once you’ve chosen your accent color, save the changes to your Tailwind configuration file to see the new color theme applied across your site.
