ThemeColor

ThemeColor["name"]

represents a named color setting that is resolved according to the current notebook theme.

Details

  • ThemeColor["name"] evaluates to itself.
  • When applied as part of a style setting, the notebook front end resolves the value to a color as part of the process of rendering.
  • ThemeColor may use a "light" or "dark" version of the color settings depending upon whether the notebook is running in light or dark mode. The setting of light or dark mode is based upon the value of the LightDark option.
  • Typical values for "name", with typical defaults in light mode, include:
  • "Foreground"foreground text and related elements
    "Background"background color of the notebook
    "Accent1"title- and section‐related styles
    "Accent2"title- and section‐related styles
    "Accent3"cell labels and brackets
    "Accent4"entity coloring

    "Accent6"chat/LLM coloring
    "Accent7"external code coloring
    "Accent8"error colors
