Hi Lauren,

The option to change the colors is on the Theme tab in the app settings.

In the current release there are six color palette options for you to choose from.

Hope this answers your question!

I agree with Owen, that's the only way to change the color palette. If you need to customize it even more, you'll have to download the theme's application. You will have to publish the app from your server to be able to use it in AGOL Platform

Thanks for the response! That makes sense, but only one option appears for me to choose from within the themes section:

That's because of the Layout you're using (Floating panel).

That Layout uses only one theme.

Your option to change colors would be altering the css file in the aplication like is detailed under "Configuration" in this page:
