Solo ships 50 finished colour schemes. Two dropdowns switch the whole site to one of them, and this video shows how they are organised and what a scheme actually is.
Fifty schemes, twelve categories
The schemes are grouped so the list is usable: Elegant Whites and Neutrals, Bold and Dramatic Colors, Denim Influences, Earthy and Smokey Tones, Midnight and Twilight, Berry and Fruit Tones, Soft and Subtle Hues, Galactic and Celestial, Urban and Modern Hues, Ocean and Deep Sea, Forest and Nature Tones, and Miscellaneous. A few schemes sit in two categories at once — Midnight Denim Swirl is both a midnight theme and a denim one — which is why the selector lists 53 entries for 50 distinct schemes.
Choosing one
- In theme settings open Predefined Color Schemes Settings.
- On Color Scheme Selection, pick a category. The scheme dropdown stays hidden until you choose something other than None.
- Pick the scheme and save. The site ships set to Midnight Whispers.
What a scheme actually is
Each one is a single stylesheet in the theme, one file per scheme, and Solo attaches only the file you chose. There is no colour picker writing inline styles and no generated CSS to clear — switching schemes swaps one stylesheet. That also means a scheme is a perfectly good starting point for a custom palette: copy the file's custom properties into the CSS Injector and override the handful you want to change rather than restyling from scratch.
When one palette is not enough
If you need different sections of the site to use different schemes, that is what the Solo Utilities module adds: rules that pick a scheme by content type, role or path, evaluated before the site-wide choice. The Solo Utilities page has the detail.
The schemes need no module on their own. Solo's info file declares ^10.1 || ^11 || ^12 and php: ^8.1. Start from the Solo theme page.
