3. To change the Background colour or Text colour click on the relevant colour picker.
4. With the colour picker open you may select a colour from the palette or enter an HTML colour code in the colour value box, then click Apply. A preview of your choices will be shown on screen. When choosing your colours, remember that the subheader is always black. If you use subheaders in your menu a dark background will make subheaders difficult to view.
Accessible?
To be sure that the colour scheme you have chosen for your menu is accessible we recommend using the Colour Contrast Checker Tool and paste into it the background colour code you have chosen for your menu background colour and the Text colour into the foreground colour box and ensure that Are colours compliant and WCAG 2AA Compliant are set at YES.
