Gulp based workflow

If you are using gulp base work flow, you can update your theme colors with two different approaches.

1. Using scss variable:

You can bring your necessary variable colors form src/scss/theme/_colors.scss and paste it into src/scss/_user-variables.scss then update variables as your necessity. We recommend to follow this approach.

Light mode is default theme style in Falcon. So, if you update any bootstrap’s SCSS variables, it will effect in Light mode. If you want to update any color, find the corresponding variable for thise color and place theme to _user-variables.scss file. For example:

//*-----------------------------------------------
//|   Theme Colors
//-----------------------------------------------*/

$primary: $blue !default; 
$secondary: $gray-600 !default;
$success: $green !default;
$info: $cyan !default;
$warning: $yellow !default;
$danger: $red !default;
$light: $gray-100 !default;
$dark: $gray-1100 !default;        

If you want to update any theme colors for dark mode, update $theme-dark-colors variable and to update the grays colors you have to update the $dark-grays variable.

/*-----------------------------------------------
|   Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
$theme-dark-colors: (
  'primary': $primary,
  'secondary': $secondary,
  'success': $success,
  'info': $info,
  'warning': $warning,
  'danger': $danger,
  'light': $light,
  'dark': rgba($gray-1000, 0.25),
) !default;

$dark-grays: (
  '100': $gray-1100,
  '200': $gray-1000,
  '300': $gray-900,
  '400': $gray-800,
  '500': $gray-700,
  '600': $gray-600,
  '700': $gray-500,
  '800': $gray-400,
  '900': $gray-300,
  '1000': $gray-200,
  '1100': $gray-100,
) !default;

2. Using CSS variable:

To update theme color with this approach, you have to update CSS variable for both modes. If you change any color you have to assign it's corresponding RGB color too. Please note sometimes you may need to update corresponding component's CSS variable. For example:

/*-----------------------------------------------
|   Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
$success: #00d27a;
$danger: #e63757;
:root,
[data-bs-theme="light"] {
  --falcon-primary:  #{$success};
  --falcon-primary-rgb: #{to-rgb($success)};
  ...
  ...
  ...
}
@if $enable-dark-mode {
  @include color-mode(dark, true) {
    --falcon-primary: #{$danger};
    --falcon-primary-rgb: #{to-rgb($danger)};
    .card{
      --falcon-card-bg: #{$success};
    }
  }
}

If you are not using Gulp based workflow

You can add your own CSS and override the theme style in the public/assets/css/user.css file. You can update all theme colors including grays using css variables. If you change any color you have to assign it's corresponding rgb color. Sometimes you may need to update corresponding component's css variable too.

/*-----------------------------------------------
|   Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
:root,
[data-bs-theme=light] {
  --falcon-primary:  #00d27a;
  --falcon-primary-rgb: 0, 210, 122;
  ...
  ...
  ...
  /* grays */
  --falcon-gray-100:  #f9fafd;
  --falcon-gray-100-rgb: 249, 250, 253;
}
[data-bs-theme=dark]{
  --falcon-primary:  #e63757;
  --falcon-primary-rgb: 230, 55, 87;

  .card{
    --falcon-card-bg: #00d27a;
  }
}
