Your own colours

Change one part at a time

Under Custom colors, each row is one part of the app: Accent (buttons), Background, Panels, Sidebar, Text, Selection, Unread dot and Highlight (stars and badges).

Click the colour square to pick a colour, or type a hex code like #1f5fd6. The app changes as you go. Changed rows are marked changed.

You edit the palette for the mode you are in. To change the dark colours too, switch Mode to Dark and edit again.

Check it stays readable

Mailpitcher checks the contrast as you go. If text or buttons become hard to read, a note says which, and by how much.

Start over

Click Reset to (the scheme’s name) to drop your custom colours for this mode.
