## Color Customization

Robust Admin - Clean Bootstrap 4 Dashboard HTML Template provides 14 different types of built in colors to use. You can use those color directly for font color, background & border by using their color classes. For usage and classes details please refer documentation UI > Color Palette > Colors.

You can also change theme colors as per your branding or selection by updating color codes. There are two different ways to do that.

- CSS Way
- SCSS Way

Heades up! It is not recommanded to change any css or scss files from `app-assets` folder files unless and until you know what you are doing. Create your own new css or scss file in `assets` folder for customization.

#### CSS Way

- Method 1 : This is very easy and simple way, First backup `app-assets/css` folder which contain default theme of Robust admin and find and replace the color code which you want to change.
- Method 2 : Use `assets/css/style.css` and override those classes, ids or any other selector color you would like to. You can also create your own custom css file for this and manually include it on your html page. This is the best way to avoide future updates conflicts and code merge.

#### SCSS Way

Robust admin template provides all SCSS variables files in `assets/scss/` folder. For bootstrap variables use `variables.scss` file and for robust admin template variables use `app-variables.scss`. You can also customize your own color palette by using `palette-variables.scss` file.

Heades up! `palette-variables.scss` is override bootstrap brand colors also, so do not forget to set bootstrap brand colors in both file `palette-variables.scss` & `variables.scss` in `assets` folder. Color pallete variable file base color of color palette will the be same as bootstrap brand color.

For this you need to have Node and Gulp installed on your system. And then you need to generate css files using gulp command ‘gulp dist-css’.

`gulp dist-css`
