Want to give your website a touch of personality that extends beyond the page itself? The theme-color meta tag allows you to suggest a theme color to the user’s browser, subtly branding the browser’s interface elements like the tab bar, address bar (on mobile), and task switcher.

Mobile browsers were the first to widely adopt the theme-color meta tag, as it’s particularly useful for creating an “app-like” experience on a smartphone.

It’s a simple yet effective way to create a more immersive and visually consistent experience for your visitors.

How it Works 🤔

The theme-color meta tag is placed within the section of your HTML document. It instructs compatible browsers to adopt the specified color as their theme color when displaying your website.

Implementation Steps 🛠️

1. Open your HTML file: Access the HTML file of the web page you want to theme.
2. Locate the section: Find the tags in your HTML.
3. Add the meta tag: Insert the following meta tag within the section:
``
4. Choose your color: Replace #3498db with the hexadecimal, RGB, or HSL color value you desire. Select a color that complements your website’s design and branding.
5. Save your changes: Save the updated HTML file.
6. Test in a compatible browser: Open your website in a browser that supports the theme-color meta tag (like Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS, and some desktop browsers). You should see the browser’s theme elements adopt the color you specified.
