--color variable

When you first install Declass, your site will have no color. Below you can see an example of how a page like that looks:

404 page with no color

Not very good-looking, right? Well, in this tutorial, we will be teaching you how to turn that black-and-white site into something like this, a good looking mix of bright, dark, and vibrant:

But how do you do it? The answer is to add a style attribute to your <body> with a --color variable in it, as such:

<body style="--color: red">
  <!-- Replace red with the color of your choice -->
</body>

# Color Template

A prime feature added in version 1 was the addition of a color template. If you want to use one of our special colors, then type one of the codes below as your --color:

var(--black)

This is the default color. Using var(--black) instead of just black will break your site in dark mode.

The hex code for this color is #000000

var(--red)

You can have fun with the colors and see how they all look on a <div> element.

You can also apply the --color variable to other elements, which overrides the original page color:

<div style="--color: var(--red)">
  <h1>
    Warning
  </h1>
  <p>
    This text is red, which usually means danger.
  </p>
</div>
