Customizing The Customer Portal Theme Colors

In this article

Match the customer portal to your brand with one base color. YoPrint generates colors for light and dark mode. You can adjust either mode separately.

Choose your portal brand color

You need permission to manage Settings to change the portal colors. If you cannot open Settings, ask your team owner to check Manage Settings for your permission group under Settings > Permissions.

  1. Open Configuration in the top navigation bar.

    Configuration in the Admin navigation

Check light and dark colors

Already have a custom color?

If Light or Dark is labeled Custom, that mode keeps its custom color when you change the base color or Adjust generated colors. To make it follow your base color again, click the reset icon beside Custom.

Reset an existing Custom override

  1. Leave Adjust generated colors on to adjust the light and dark colors for readability. Turn it off to use your base color in modes without a Custom override.

    Adjust generated colors in the Brand color dialog

Luminance describes how light or dark a color is. It affects the contrast and legibility of text against that color.

Luminance and Lum show brightness on a scale from 0 (black) to 100 (white). There is no single best luminance value. Check the contrast in both previews.

Each preview shows a contrast ratio, such as 5.1:1, between the brand color and the preview background. AA means both this ratio and the button text contrast meet the dialog's 4.5:1 target. Review means at least one is below 4.5:1. If a preview shows Review, adjust the color or turn on Adjust generated colors, then check again.

The Dark preview footer shows Lum and a Review contrast badge

The Light and Dark previews show buttons, links, selected items and other controls against each background. Check that the text and controls are easy to read before saving.

Override one mode (optional)

Use an override to set a different color for one mode. The other mode keeps its current color. If both previews look right, skip to Save your colors.

  1. Click the color swatch beside Light or Dark. This example changes Dark.

Add a customer portal favicon

A favicon is the small icon on a browser tab. The Customer portal favicon card is on Settings > Overview, beside the logo and background cards.

Use an ICO, PNG or JPEG file up to 4 MB. The recommended size is 128 × 128 pixels.

If the card already shows Replace favicon, go to Change your favicon below.

  1. Click Upload favicon.

    Upload favicon on Settings Overview

  2. Choose your image file.

The card shows the uploaded icon at several sizes. Your favicon saves automatically, separate from your theme color.

Without a custom favicon, the portal uses your business logo. If no logo is available, it uses a generated monogram.
