How To Change WordPress Default Theme Header Color

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 | WordPress Blog with Comments Off

The default WordPress theme is probably one of the most used WordPress themes. This is most likely because it is so easy to customize.

Unlike most other themes it is very easy to change the color of the WordPress default themes header right from within the WordPress blog dashboard. After you login to the WordPress dashboard, click Presentation, in the dark blue sub panel directly below the main menu panel, click Header Image and Color.

The WordPress blog default theme’s header will appear with several option buttons shown below it. The theme has a gradient color scheme and you can choose two different colors that will blend together in the middle if you wish.

Clicking on the Upper Color or Lower Color buttons will show a color chart to choose from. If you don’t like the color options available in here you can click the Advanced button and place a hex color code in the box. What’s a hex color code? It is an alpha numeric code that tells a computer how to render a color on the screen.

To find a different color to use you can find more hex color codes here: http://html-color-codes.com/ or Google hex color codes. Just find the colors you want to use and place the 6-digit codes in the Upper Color (Hex) and Lower Color (Hex) boxes shown when you click the Advanced button and make sure the # sign is in front of the hex color code.

After making your changes click Save and view your new header color. There are ways to change the entire header image but that is for another day.
