The theme-color
value for the name
attribute of the <meta>
element indicates a suggested color that user agents should use to customize the display of the page or of the surrounding user interface. If specified, you define a theme color using a content
attribute in the <meta>
element as a CSS <color>
value.
For example, to indicate that a document should use cornflowerblue
as a theme color, set the <meta>
as:
<meta name="theme-color" content="cornflowerblue" />
To set the media to which the theme color metadata applies, include the media
attribute with a valid media query list (see the theme-color
media query example).
A <meta name="theme-color">
element has the following additional attributes:
content
A <meta>
element with name=theme-color
must have a content
attribute that defines the theme color. The value of content
attribute is as follows:
<color>
value
A valid color value, such as hexadecimal, RGB, named color, etc.
media
Optional
Any valid media type or query. If provided, the options for the document's theme color defined in the content
attribute are suggested to the browser when the media query matches.
Consider the following code that uses <meta>
to set a theme color:
<meta name="theme-color" content="#4285f4" />

<meta
name="theme-color"
content="cornflowerblue"
media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" />
<meta
name="theme-color"
content="dimgray"
media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" />
