# Customize colors

DevControl2 uses **Material You Utilities** for color customization.

Open **Material You Utilities** from the sidebar to change the look of the interface.

This usually changes only your own view.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Material You Utilities

Log in to Home Assistant.

In the sidebar, open **Material UI Utilities**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't see it in the sidebar, you may have already hidden it. Try following the steps in [Customize sidebar](/devcontrol2/readme/set-up-your-account/customize-sidebar.md) to make it appear again.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the color style you want

Select the colors or theme that work best for you.

For example, you may prefer:

* a dark theme at night
* a light theme during the day
* a higher-contrast theme for readability
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and check the result

Return to the dashboard.

Confirm that the colors, cards, and text look correct.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If a change does not appear immediately, refresh the page once.
{% endhint %}

### If the colors do not change

Try this:

* refresh the page once
* log out and log in again
* reopen **Material UI Utilities**
* follow the steps on [Refreshing page](/devcontrol2/readme/troubleshooting/refreshing-page.md)

If the issue continues, contact us at <devcontrol2@bombol.space>
