More information
Coming soon for Microsoft SharePoint: Site owners can apply a multi-color theme to the site. We will offer these multi-color themes out of the box. Site owners will create the themes using the Site branding feature, or the brand manager will use branding from your organization if you have set up a brand center in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
NOTE: The brand center app requires the use of a public content delivery network (CDN) available in the Worldwide environment. CDN is not available in the GCC, GCC High, or DoD environments.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 489833 and Roadmap ID 490062.
When this will happen:
These releases will roll out to Worldwide (with brand center capability) and to GCC, GCC High and DoD (without brand center capability):
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early May 2025 and expect to complete by mid-May 2025.
General Availability: We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.
How this will affect your organization:
This feature introduces multi-color themes that support multiple color combinations in a theme. In addition to custom themes, eight new out-of-the-box site themes will be available after this rollout.
The theme colors will show up in the site header and site footer, applied by site managers. The theme colors will also show up in section backgrounds, the rich text editor (text web part), and Design ideas, all edited by page authors.
This feature will be available by default.
